Figure 1.1.
Figure 1.1.

Preoperative panoramic radiograph demonstrating terminal dentition in the maxilla and mandible. The patient presents with multiple failing restorations, root canal-treated teeth with poor prognoses, and previously placed implants.

Figure 1.2.
Figure 1.2.

Preoperative digital intraoral scan of the maxillary arch. This scan was used for virtual treatment planning, prosthetic design, and to evaluate spatial relationships before full-arch extraction and implant placement.

Figure 1.3.
Figure 1.3.

Immediate postoperative intraoral scan of the maxilla following full-arch extractions, freehand placement of 5 MegaGen AnyRidge implants, and multiunit abutments with abutment-level scan bodies.

Figure 1.4.
Figure 1.4.

A postoperative panoramic radiograph shows full-arch rehabilitation with 10 MegaGen AnyRidge implants—5 maxillary and 5 mandibular. Implant distribution was optimized to support immediate, full-arch, screw-retained provisional prostheses.

Figure 1.5.
Figure 1.5.

The final prosthetic result showcases the aesthetic and functional outcome of the maxillary and mandibular full-arch prostheses. Screw-retained, 3D-printed resin provisionals were delivered 24 hours following surgery.

Figure 2.1.
Figure 2.1.

Preoperative intraoral photograph showing failing restorations and compromised esthetics. The dentition was deemed structurally and functionally terminal.

Figure 2.2.
Figure 2.2.

A preoperative panoramic radiograph showed generalized advanced dental decay and retained root fragments. Due to widespread structural compromise, the prognosis of the remaining dentition is poor.

Figure 2.3.
Figure 2.3.

A digital intraoral scan captured the maxillary arch prior to full-arch extraction. A Digital Arches arch tracer was placed as a reference point to facilitate photogrammetry and digital workflow integration.

Figure 2.4.
Figure 2.4.

An intraoral image was obtained immediately following maxillary full-arch extractions and guided placement of 5 MegaGen AnyRidge implants. Scan bodies for the iCam photogrammetry unit were placed and scanned, allowing for precise spatial registration of implant positions.

Figure 2.5.
Figure 2.5.

An immediate maxillary provisional prosthesis was delivered on the day of surgery. The restoration was designed digitally and 3D printed in resin chairside, restoring form, function, and esthetics.

Figure 2.6.
Figure 2.6.

A panoramic radiograph was taken 4 months after implant placement at the time of final prosthesis delivery. The image shows 5 maxillary and 3 mandibular MegaGen AnyRidge implants supporting a full-arch zirconia prosthesis in the maxilla and individual zirconia crowns in the mandible.

Figure 2.7.
Figure 2.7.

This is an extraoral postoperative photograph of the patient’s smile after completing full-arch implant therapy. The patient expressed high satisfaction with the treatment's esthetic and functional results.
