Summary

Dental implants are widely recognized as a dependable and cost-effective solution for replacing missing teeth. Achieving successful outcomes in modern implantology and prosthetics depends on rigorous diagnostic methods and diligent planning that meet the expectations of patients and dentists and leverage advancements in materials and digital technologies. The predictability and success rates of implant dentistry have significantly improved following the development of computed tomography, implant planning software, guided implant surgery techniques, and advanced materials. This report presents the case of a 54 year-old healthy male with partial tooth loss who received seven implants in the upper jaw and six in the lower jaw. Based on comprehensive Cone Beam Computed Tomography imaging, the treatment plan was devised to support a fixed prosthesis. Precise implant placement, guided by the treatment plan, addressed the optimal prosthodontic requirements while minimizing invasiveness through a flapless surgery approach. The landscape of rehabilitation practices is evolving due to the incorporation of computer-aided design in treatment planning and the increased application of computer-assisted manufacturing. Guided implant techniques have emerged as a means to mitigate the limitations associated with traditional methods. Compared to conventional approaches, guided implant surgery significantly improves implant placement precision by reducing chairside time, involves minimally invasive procedures, and augments predictability
