3D-Printed Rehabilitation and Immediate Loading in a Completely Edentulous Patient With Computed Guided Surgery: A Case Report With a 24-Month Follow-Up
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.
