Sažetak

Loss of teeth not only leads to aesthetic but also to functional impairment of the stomatognathic system. Solving edentulousness still presents a great challenge in contemporary dentistry. Various approaches are possible depending on the type and number of lost teeth, and also the condition of surrounding tissue. Regardless of whether it is a case of a single tooth or several, it is necessary to know the function of the masticatory organ and therapeutic procedures in order to correctly carry out treatment. Lack of teeth can be dealt with orthodontically, prosthetically or implanto prosthetically. Which method is chosen depends on the case itself, choice of therapist and on the practicability and cooperation of the patient. This study presents several cases which were treated by classical prosthetic restorations, as opposed to several similar cases which treated by intra-osseous implants and prosthetic constructions on the implants.
The purpose of this presentation is to show different methods of treatment of the same or similar cases, and to give guidelines to clinicians, when and in which cases a particular treatment should be opted for. It is important to mention that the information acquired by the therapist, as well as the patient, represents the key role in the choice of the most suitable therapeutic procedure.
