8 The five steps of COMFOUR Treatment Diagnosis After an extensive examination of your oral and jaw situation, your dentist will advise you on the treatment concept for fixed dentures with COMFOUR. You will have the chance to discuss the type of reconstruction with your dentist and the dental technician and express your wishes for your new dental prosthesis. Then you will be informed about the individual treatment steps. 1 3 Pretreatment The COMFOUR Treatment Concept is designed to ensure that the therapeutic dentures are available at the time of surgery. Three-dimensional X-ray images (DVT/CT) and the impressions of your two jaws, as well as a facial arch transfer, are taken to provide implant planning and for fabricating your dental prosthesis. Depending on the degree of difficulty, a kind of template can be fabricated in the laboratory for the implantation, which helps the dentist to insert your implants precisely into your jaw while protecting anatomical structures. Depending on your individual situation, your clinician will decide whether a template is required or not. 2 On the day of surgery When you arrive in the dental practice you will be prepared for surgery. Your dentist will have explained to you during the preparatory discussion what you should pay attention to on the day of surgery. Modern anesthetic and implant techniques ensure that surgery is as stress-free as possible. The length of the intervention can vary and depends on your individual situation. The implants are inserted in their exact positions without requiring any further complex surgical measures for bone augmentation. After the implants have been placed, the therapeutic restoration prepared in the laboratory for the day of surgery can be inserted. This not only saves time and costs, but lets your implants heal gently, without a removable prosthesis to impair healing. As a rule, you will leave the dental practice with a fixed screw-retained therapeutic dental prosthesis with which you will feel absolutely safe.
