Background:

Computer-guided surgery (CGS) enhances dental implant accuracy.
Immediate implant loading protocols require precise prosthetic fit.
Intraoperative adjustments are often necessary due to unavoidable implant positioning discrepancies.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and implement an adaptable method for intraoperative adjustment of provisional fixed full-arch restorations.
To facilitate immediate implant loading following CGS, compensating for potential implant positioning errors.
To ensure a passive fit of the provisional restoration despite intraoperative deviations from virtual planning.

Main Methods:

A two-part provisional restoration was designed: custom abutments and a separate superstructure.

The superstructure was not connected to temporary cylinders during fabrication.

Following implant placement, custom abutments were attached, and the superstructure was simultaneously cemented to all abutments using dual-cure resin cement.

Main Results:

The described superstructure allowed for easy seating and adjustment to accommodate implant position shifts.
Passive fit was successfully achieved between the implants and the superstructure.
Uneventful immediate implant loading was accomplished within a reasonable operative time.

Conclusions:

The developed method simplifies intraoperative adjustments for provisional restorations in CGS.
This technique reliably enables immediate implant loading, even with minor implant positioning errors.
The approach offers a practical solution for achieving prosthetic success in computer-guided implantology.
