Abstract

The purpose of this article is to report a digital workflow protocol for full-arch implant rehabilitation from guided surgery to final prosthesis in only three visits. This expedited protocol allows for implant placement with a surgical template generated from preoperative virtual planning and production of the CAD/CAM prosthodontic rehabilitation using a digital workflow. At the first visit, a guided implant placement protocol with the All-on-4 concept and immediate loading with the conversion prosthesis technique was done. At the same visit, final impression and interocclusal records, cast verification and mounting, as well as digital scanning of the conversion prosthesis were carried out. During the second visit, the framework try-in was performed. Lastly, the third visit included delivery of the final full-arch prosthesis opposed by a maxillary complete denture.
