Immediately Loaded Intraorally Welded Complete-Arch Maxillary Provisional Prosthesis

Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent. 2015 Sep-Oct;35(5):725-31. doi: 10.11607/prd.2293.

Abstract

Guided implant surgery is not completely accurate when using computer-designed stereolithographic surgical guides. Complications are frequently reported when combining computer-guided flapless surgery with an immediately loaded prefabricated prosthesis. Achieving passive fit of a prefabricated prosthesis on the inserted implants the same day of the surgery can be difficult. The aim of this report is to show a new treatment approach to immediately loaded implants inserted with computer-guided surgery using an intraoral welded full-arch provisional prosthesis.
