Abstract:
A case report of a complete arch interim prosthesis executed using digital work flows and with guided implant surgery is presented. The novel shape-memory retained system used to retain the complete dental prosthesis is easily indexed onto the remaining dentition, thereby being both efficient and cost-effective in the short and long term.
