Abstract

Implant-supported immediate loading full-arch rehabilitation has been documented in the literature. More recently, computed surgical guides have frequently been used since they facilitate planning and performing surgical treatment without the need to raise a flap, thus reducing trauma and morbidity. This case report describes an immediate full-arch, fixed rehabilitation with full loading placed on four commercially available 3D-printed implants, with a 24-month follow-up. The implants were placed with the help of a digitally planned 3D-printed surgical guide. The provisional fixed prosthesis installed immediately was replaced after 3 months. At the time, the soft and hard tissue around the implants appeared stable, without signs of inflammation. The same situation was observed at the 24-month follow-up. Three-dimensional-printed implants seem to be a promising choice in this case. However, further clinical studies with longer follow-up periods are necessary to confirm their efficacy.
