Abstract
Background:
Historically replacement of missing teeth with dental implants often required multiple surgical procedures and long delays between initiating and completing treatment.
Case Description:
This case describes accelerated implant restoration of teeth #29 and #30 on a 67-year-old male with a history of bruxism and a failed fixed partial denture. The abutments were connected and final restorations were begun 42 days following implant placement surgery.
Clinical Implications:
Ideal results following implant placement can be obtained in less than 10 weeks.
