Purpose: To describe a fully digital workflow for an implant-supported fixed hybrid restoration that involves a double CAD/CAM structure and to highlight the benefits of this type of restoration.
Materials and methods: Using a fully digital workflow, starting from intraoral scans, the necessary steps for producing the final hybrid prosthesis are described. The prosthesis consists of a titanium primary structure and a zirconia secondary structure that is cemented onto the primary structure in the laboratory. A clinical case is presented to illustrate the steps required for prosthetic rehabilitation.
Results: This technique enables the fabrication of clinically valid and passive prostheses using a fully digital workflow.
Conclusion: In just three clinical sessions, a fully digital workflow makes it possible to produce robust implant-supported fixed hybrid prostheses, comprising a titanium primary structure and an outer secondary structure made of zirconia. This procedure can be applied to a wide range of cases from simple to extended, including full-arch restorations.
