Abstract:
In this case report, immediate loading of an implant-supported single-tooth prosthesis through complete digital workflow. A patient presented for restoration of missing a single tooth in the mandibular first molar. The digital impression was made with intraoral scanner and implant was placed using surgical guide pre-fabricated with pre-operative computed tomography (CT) and scan data. After 1 week later, prefabricated customized abutment and provisional restoration were connected for immediate loading. After 8 weeks later, abutment level impression was taken by intraoral scanner. At 3 months later from implant installation, monolithic zirconia crown were fabricated. This clinical report presents satisfying result in accuracy and patient satisfaction. A completely modeless digital procedure met expectations regarding precision, esthetics, and functionality.
