Digital tools now enable an effective and efficient workflow even for complex implant-prosthetic restorations such as the immediate restoration of the edentulous maxilla. Planning predictability due to high process reliability, time saving, cost reduction due to shortened therapy sequences, high patient satisfaction due to predictable results, and high patient comfort are the advantages of the digitally supported therapy phases – from digital volume tomography of the bony structures to planning software to CAD/CAM-generated temporaries and prototypes to all-ceramic restorations. However, the use of digital procedures and techniques alone is no guarantee for a successful, indication-appropriate, and patient-specific restoration. In addition to having digital knowledge, the conditio sine qua non for the dental technician team is still analog competence coupled with corresponding experience to be able to interpret the various influencing factors. Using an immediately loaded maxillary restoration as an example, an analog–digital workflow is presented that is geared to surgical, prosthetic, and patient-specific requirements.
