Design and fabrication of a fixed implant-supported interim restoration from a dynamic navigation virtual plan

A technique is described in which an interim implant-supported restoration was designed and fabricated before surgery from a virtual treatment plan created in and executed with dynamic navigation. The virtual treatment plan was imported into a dental computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) software program for the design of the interim restoration. Once designed, the interim restoration was fabricated with additive manufacturing. The soft-tissue contours were evaluated after 12 weeks.
