Abstract

Computer-assisted design (CAD) and computer-assisted manufacture (CAM) are technologic advancements used in dentistry today. These technologies have been developed to fabricate a complete arch substructure from a solid piece of titanium for a fixed, screw-retained implant-supported prosthesis. This clinical report demonstrates a treatment approach which uses CAD-CAM technology to incorporate a milled, titanium framework with retrievable metal ceramic crowns.
