Fabrication of an implant-supported reconstruction utilizing CAD/CAM technology.
Recent scientific and technological developments have allowed the dental team to execute revolutionary restorative treatments that would have once been considered unfeasible. This article describes a restorative alternative for fixed implant-supported reconstructions, consisting of a CAD/CAM-generated framework and CAD/CAM-generated all-ceramic cement-retained restorations. Distinct advantages of this type of restoration include the passive fit of the framework, the ability of the ceramist to fabricate individual restorations independent from the framework, and the delivery of optimal aesthetics.
