Abstract:
This clinical report describes a completely digital workflow for the rehabilitation of the maxillary and mandibular arches with implant-supported fixed interim prostheses. Computer-assisted implant planning was used to fabricate a multifunctional surgical template for the guided placement of transitional and endosteal dental implants. Advantages of this technique include the integration of a completely digital workflow into the production of a virtual diagnostic tooth arrangement for edentulous patients, the planning of implant placement as per a restorative-driven approach, and the delivery of implant-supported fixed interim prostheses.
