   Abstract:	Loss of teeth leads to an edentulous jaw. Besides total dentures, implants are today used for replacing teeth. In this case we decided to place Ankylos (Friadent, Germany) dental implants with individual zirconia abutments and esthetic, zirconium-dioxide crowns. We decided to place eight implants in the maxilla, at positions 11 and 21, 13 and 23, 14 and 24 and 16 and 26, and seven implants in the mandible, where only one implant was placed at the position 41 as a central stabilizer for the bridgework 44-34. The reason for so many implants was the wish for better esthetics in the frontal region and possibility to produce a diastema that patient had on his natural teeth. After insertion of implants in December 2006 a total denture was fabricated as a temporary, and in September 2007 a final reconstruction was fabricated, with zirconia abutments and e.max ceramics in the final layer.
