16th CAD/CAM & Digital Dentistry Conference

Abstract

Treatment protocols for fixed and removable implant restorations have a significant number of overlapping principles including surgical treatment planning, aesthetic determinants for tooth shape and position, impression techniques, and laboratory communication. The main goal of any final restoration is to provide a high-level of biocompatibility while simultaneously restoring cosmetics and comfort to the patient. This presentation will cover several case studies ranging from single central restoration to full-mouth implant-supported dentures. Various prosthodontic challenges for each case will be outlined and the solutions explained in detail that were utilized to achieve a successful outcome.
