Prosthetic rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla is known to be challenging and requires meticulous planning. The purpose of this article is to describe a novel classification system, the Lip-Tooth-Ridge (LTR), that offers a guidepost for treatment planning the edentulous maxilla for fixed or removable prostheses. This tool will help clinicians identify the final prosthetic design and will provide a case-specific risk assessment guide regarding two different areas. A high (HER) or low (LER) esthetic risk will be determined based on lip dynamics, as well as a high or low structural risk according to the prosthetic space availability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
