title: Computed tomography-based, template-guided implant placement and immediate loading: an 8-year clinical report.
abstract: This report presents an 8-year follow-up of a patient treated with computer-assisted implant planning, template-guided implant placement, and immediate loading. A preoperative diagnostic evaluation resulted in a more predictable implant placement with respect to anatomic structures and the planned prosthesis. Implants were placed in both the maxilla and the mandible, and immediate loading in both arches was provided.
