“…For the present case, the selection of abutment teeth was made by considering the subsequent implant sites, and all implants were placed in one step at one time, thereby reducing the surgical interventions . The patient had a tooth supported or implant supported fixed interim prosthesis during the entire rehabilitation process, and the removable provisionalization was avoided.…”

“…Immediate complete dentures have been used after extraction of the hopeless teeth and during the osseointegration period. Many patients object to the complete denture because of psychological, functional, and esthetic reasons, and request fixed provisionalization throughout the rehabilitation process . Various treatment approaches have been described pertaining to the rehabilitation of advanced periodontal disease and failing dentition .…”

As the computer-guided surgery protocols continue to evolve and improve, further clinical studies are necessary to assess accuracy and make this exciting technology even safer for the average clinician. The clinical significance of this case report lies in the treatment sequence combined with cutting edge technology for maximum patient comfort and prosthodontic control. Guided flapless surgery with prosthodontically driven implant placement led to predictable rehabilitation with no major complications after 6 years. A staged approach with fixed interim prostheses was used throughout the entire rehabilitation period, optimizing patient satisfaction and comfort. Natural canine guidance was the occlusal scheme of choice.

“…Preserving teeth with poor or questionable prognosis to support a fixed provisional restoration helps to avoid excessive loading of the grafted sites and ensures an uneventful healing process. Furthermore, both the patient and the clinician may avoid the additional appointments that are necessary for subsequent relines and any other modifications needed in case of interim removable prostheses [5]. …”

“…This procedure involves serial extraction of selected hopeless teeth and the placement of implants and/or grafts through a staged approach while utilizing the remaining teeth to support a fixed interim restoration [5]. An important parameter in this therapeutic approach is the preservation of natural teeth, whether of fair or questionable prognosis until the end of the healing process.…”

BackgroundThe philosophy of a gradual transition to an implant retained prosthesis in cases of full-mouth or extensive rehabilitation usually involves a staged treatment concept. In this therapeutic approach, the placement of implants may sometimes be divided into phases. During a subsequent surgical phase of treatment, the pre-existing implants can serve as anchors for the surgical template. Those modified surgical templates help in the precise transferring of restorative information into the surgical field and guide the optimal three-dimensional implant positioning.MethodsThis article highlights the rationale of implant-retained surgical templates and illustrates them through the presentation of two clinical cases. The templates are duplicates of the provisional restorations and are secured to the existing implants through the utilization of implant mounts.ResultsThis template design in such staged procedures provided stability in the surgical field and enhanced the accuracy in implant positioning based upon the planned restoration, thus ensuring predictable treatment outcomes.ConclusionsSuccessful rehabilitation lies in the correct sequence of surgical and prosthetic procedures. Whenever a staged approach of implant placement is planned, the clinician can effectively use the initially placed implants as anchors for the surgical template during the second phase of implant surgery.
