TL;DR
This case report shows how digital technology and 3D printing can be used to restore a patient's missing teeth with implants, offering a faster and more comfortable solution.
Contribution
The paper demonstrates the practical application of a digital workflow for implant-based denture rehabilitation with 3D-printed components and guided surgery.
Findings
Digital planning and 3D printing enabled efficient and accurate implant placement and temporary rehabilitation.
The patient experienced improved aesthetics and function with a 24-month follow-up showing successful outcomes.
The digital workflow reduced treatment time and enhanced patient comfort.
Abstract
Implant-supported fixed rehabilitations are a reliable solution to restore aesthetics and function to edentulous patients. Currently, practitioners can use digital flow with computer-aided design & computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology to enhance their productivity by reducing working time and providing more comfort to patients. This report presents a clinical case in which the digital flow was used to restore the inferior edentulous arch in a 55-year-old female patient with an implant-based Misch's FP3 denture. Digital technology provides tridimensional planning, surgical computed guides, and printed temporary rehabilitation. This case report portrays the feasibility and ease that the digital flow provides for both the surgeon and the patient.
