Successful implant treatment includes osseointegration, as well as prosthetically optimal positions of the implants for esthetics and function. The aim of this study is to evaluate a patient that was treated with an implant-supported fixed prosthesis with the help of computer-assisted three-dimensional planning. A 52-year-old edentulous man underwent computerized tomographic (CT) scanning, and the cross sections were reformatted. The cross sections were used to construct a surgical guide. Eight ITI Straumann dental implants were placed using a series of supramucosal surgical stents. Following a 5-month healing period, the stability of the implants was confirmed with the use of an Osstell device. Because satisfactory stability was observed, implant-supported fixed partial dentures, incorporating 12 units in all, were made. After 6 months, a second CT evaluation was carried out and the positions of the implants were compared with the treatment planning data. The CT-based software program and surgical stents contributed to the success of this case.

Introduction: Integrated vascular surgery residency and traditional fellowship training paradigms offer two unique pathways to independent vascular surgery practice and board eligibility. Although operative case requirements are equivalent in each, it is unknown whether operative competence achieved by graduates is comparable between paradigms. We sought to examine operative performance and autonomy achieved between vascular integrated residents (VIR) and vascular surgery fellows (VSF) in their final year of training.
