Abstract:
This article reviews the rationale, techniques, and advantages of a guided full-arch immediatefunction implant treatment modality that includes placement of a prefabricated, bar-supported, monolithic polymethyl methacrylate acrylic (PMMA) prosthesis for edentulous and terminal dentition patients. A case presentation depicting the protocol shows it to be an effective and predictable approach to providing fullarch immediate fixed teeth, particularly when compared to conventional denture conversion techniques.
