Abstract
This case report reviews the current aspects of implant surgery and implant-supported prostheses. The importance of evaluating patient expectations of the final prosthetic result prior to the commencement of any procedure is emphasized. The clinical procedure is outlined, focusing on surgical and prosthetic planning according to the desired prosthesis. The availability of various implant lengths, diameters, angulations, and coatings is reviewed with suggestions for selections to suit either the anterior or the posterior region and the available quality and quantity of the bone.
