A case report of improving esthetic dissatisfaction treated with dental implants and fixed prostheses by a fully digital workflow

Abstract

Patient: The patient, a 37-year-old woman, presented with a chief complaint of pain and unusual feeling of the maxillary anterior teeth. The patient underwent extraction of 1|12 owing to root resorption, and first stage surgery 1| on |2 and was performed. Digital impressions of the morphology of the provisional restoration and gingival and mucosal morphology were taken using an intraoral scanner, and the obtained morphological data were used to fabricate a screw-retained 1|12 final superstructure using monolithic zirconia, which was placed in the patient.

Discussion: The method used in this case is more straightforward than the conventional method and reduces the time required for treatment and fabrication, as well as the materials used such as impression materials and plaster.

Conclusion: No clinical complications or fractures were reported after the implant superstructure fabricated using a fully digital workflow was delivered to the patient.
