Complete mouth rehabilitation with fixed implant-supported prosthesis using temporary denture and dental CAD-CAM

Abstract

Installation of dental implants at optimal angles and positions is critical in long-term stable implant-supported restorations. Surgery and prosthodontic proce-dures should be performed accurately as the treatment is planned. In this clinical case, Computer aided design and manufacturing technology was used not only to establish a precise surgical plan, but also to fabricate both provisional and definitive fixed prostheses. A surgical guide was designed to install the implants at proper positions for the definitive prostheses. The patient’s esthetic information, which was necessary for the new provisional and definitive fixed prostheses, was obtained from the existing temporary dentures. Finally, the complete mouth fixed implant-supported rehabilitation using monolithic zirconia provided the patient with functionally and esthetically satisfactory prostheses.
