title: Immediate definitive CAD/CAM restoration of a non-submerged implant.
abstract: Implant placement has become a widely accepted treatment for tooth replacement. There are many restorative options, but it is best for the patient and most efficient for the office if the implant is placed and restored in as few appointments as possible. If diagnosis is thorough and accurate, placing the implant and doing a definitive restoration in 1 appointment can be as predictable as the traditional 2 appointment technique. Restoring the implant with computer-assisted designed and machined porcelain can provide predictable fit, esthetics, and restoration and be clinically efficient.
