Abstract

The application of well-documented treatment concepts and improvements in digital technologies have changed modern prosthodontics, specifically for the design and manufacturing of fixed implant-supported prosthesis in edentulous patients to restore their quality of life. However, important factors such as inter-arch occlusal relationships, the need for a buccal flange, and the ability to perform a proper oral hygiene make the fixed restoration not the best treatment option for some edentulous patients, especially for the elderly. The treatment of old population with implant-supported prosthesis has become increasingly common, since life expectancy has been generally growing over time. This clinical report describes in a systematic sequence the diagnosis, treatment planning, and surgical-prosthetic management of an elderly systemically compromised patient who receives both maxillary and mandibular implant-supported rehabilitation following an innovative digital working method using novel CAD CAM millable materials.
