This technical note aims to present a recently developed computer-guided protocol characterized by titanium-reinforced stackable surgical guides during post-extractive implant placement and subsequent immediate loading. A full maxillary edentulism was rehabilitated with one-piece implants, starting from a pre-existing removable denture. 3D digital scans of the removable denture and upper and lower arches were performed.

Aim: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of infrazygomatic (IZ) implants along with mini-implants for full-arch distalization of maxilla and reduction of gummy smile in patients with class II division I malocclusion.
Materials And Methods: Ten orthodontic patients were taken from the department of orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. Each patient required distalization and intrusion of the complete maxillary arch as a part of the treatment plan.

This case report illustrates the successful nonsurgical treatment of an adult with a skeletal Class III malocclusion exacerbated by a functional anterior shift that resulted in a severe overclosure of the mandible and a reverse smile line. To maximize the soft tissue and smile esthetics while idealizing the occlusion, active clockwise rotation of the mandible was induced along with mandibular molar uprighting and sequential leveling. In the maxilla, full arch distalization was achieved after second molar extraction.

A non-ideal implant position and angulation may bring about some technical concerns because the abutment prosthetic possibilities may fail to correct the implant angulation or its consequent prosthetic restoration insertion plane. This case report describes a prosthetic solution for fixed full-arch maxillary prosthesis with six implants (Bone-Level Regular CrossFit®, Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland) non-satisfactory position in maxilla; one of the implants showed buccal angulation and a divergent parallelism greater than 45° in relation to the other five implants. To correct the implant angulation and the insertion bar plane, a screw-retained RC non-engaging gold abutment for bridge was used in five out of six implants, and a combination of a screw-retained RC CrossFit™ gold abutment for crown and a Screw Bloc System (CNG Soluções Protéticas, São Paulo, Brazil) was used for the right-hand-side anterior implant that showed a greater buccal implant angulation (>45°).

Background: A dentition with adequate function and esthetics is essential for the well-being and quality of life. A full implant-retained fixed prosthetics is an ideal solution for fully edentulous arch, however requires complex planning, surgical, and prosthetic procedure. With the help of digital workflow, it becomes a predictable and fast solution for the dentists and the patients.
