- Digital and conventional techniques were combined to manage the case effectively.
- The clinical outcome demonstrated good esthetic and functional integration.

## Abstract

In the maxillary anterior area, the esthetic integration of prosthetic restorations is a challenge, particularly for screw-retained implant prostheses. This case report presents the management and clinical outcome of an old partial edentulous maxillary jaw in an esthetic zone in a young patient with a very limited mouth opening. This patient was rehabilitated with an implant screw-retained fixed partial denture (FPD) using both digital and conventional techniques.
