Simultaneous fabrication of implant restorations and occlusal devices - enhanced efficiency due to digital workflow.

Hybrid abutment crowns (HACs) have gained increased attention due to their time and cost efficiency as well as their reliability for restoring single-tooth implants in the posterior region. This article presents a digital approach to restore single-tooth gaps with implant-supported HACs in combination with a simultaneous occlusal device therapy within four appointments, combining implant surgery with prosthetic and functional therapy. 3D implant planning, guided surgery, PEEK customized healing abutments, intraoral scanning, and movement registration of the mandibular function were applied together to achieve the predictable result.
