Abstract

This article reports on the treatment of edentulous maxillary and mandibular arches with implant-supported fixed partial dentures. Treatment planning and surgical and restorative techniques are reviewed. Preoperative computerized tomography was obtained and computer software was used to determine the final position of the implants and restorations. The outcome has been favorable both for the patient and the clinicians.
