Abstract:
This case history illustrates how a mistake, when manufacturing the radiographic guide, can duplicate itself when placing the implants through the surgical template. This led to a disastrous aesthetic result. This case history also illustrates yet another reason for constructing a provisional restoration in the first instance before proceeding to the final restoration using a titanium substructure or bonded bridgework.
