ABSTRACT

This clinical report describes a complete mouth fixed implant-supported rehabilitation for a patient with myasthenia gravis. Patients with myasthenia gravis may have impaired manual dexterity from progressive neuromuscular impairment. Muscle weakness and fatigue, reduced denture stability, and the inability to provide maxillary dentures with a peripheral seal have compromised the ability to wear dentures. Therefore, care is needed when providing an implant-supported prosthesis. This clinical report provides step-by-step management of a patient with myasthenia gravis, providing a complete arch implant-supported rehabilitation.
