PubMed ID (PMID): 21365026Pages 49-55, Language: EnglishBalshi, Stephen F. / Wolfinger, Glenn J. / Balshi, Thomas J.Computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacture technology is changing the way clinicians are planning treatment and delivering dental implant therapy. Although the current technology is impressive and successful clinically, there are limitations in the design that prevent all patients from benefiting immediately from this computer-designed modality. This article describes a unique prosthetically driven protocol that will allow the delivery of a prefabricated screw-retained allacrylic prosthesis immediately after an alveoplasty with the immediate placement of dental implants.
