Description
Implant-supported fixed dental prostheses improve the quality of life of edentulous patients experiencing functional and esthetic problems associated with complete dentures. CAD/CAM technology has recently revolutionized the field of implant dentistry. CAD/CAM surgical guides have greatly improved the predictability of implant surgery and the CAD/CAM fabrication of frameworks has resulted in elimination of distortion, better fit, fewer fabrication steps, and faster turn-around. All of these advancements offer improved experience for the patient, decreased treatment time, and greater accessibility. Basic clinical and laboratory procedures for restoring edentulous arches with CAD/CAM surgical guides and implant-supported fixed prostheses will be discussed.
Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to: 1) discuss the possible errors during digital planning and learn how to avoid them; 2) list the critical steps of flapless implant placement to achieve successful outcomes; 3) describe the fabrication of full-arch milled frameworks using CAD/CAM technology.
