Abstract

Objective: To describe a clinical case of oral rehabilitation in an immunosuppressed transplant patient. Case report: Male patient, 58 years old, liver transplanted and hypertensive, sought rehabilitation treatment complaining of aesthetic and functional dissatisfaction of the maxilla and mandible. The patient was using the maintenance immunosuppressant tacrolimus and had low drug dosage rates and normal white blood cell count. After clinical and radiographic evaluation, 6 implants in the maxilla were planned for making a superior protocol prosthesis and 3 implants in the mandible for the rehabilitation of intercalated edentulous spaces. Con el fin de reducir las complicaciones quirúrgicas, aumentar la predictibilidad del caso y brindar mayor seguridad al paciente, optamos por realizar una cirugía guiada con un implante cónico. Final considerations: It is possible to consider through this work that a safe planning, involving a good anamnesis, analysis of laboratory tests, preoperative medication and adequate surgical-rehabilitation planning are the key to a successful treatment.
