Full Digital Workflow for Prosthetic Full-Arch Immediate Loading Rehabilitation Using OT-Bridge System: A Case Report

Abstract

Nowadays, digital technologies have brought very important advancements in clinical prosthetic dentistry. However, a full digital workflow is still considered to be challenging in the management of full-arch implant cases with immediate prosthetic loading. The aim of this case report is to show a full-digital workflow for the fabrication of an implant-prosthetic fixed provisional prosthesis for immediate loading on seven implants in the upper maxilla. The static guided implant surgery and the OT Bridge prosthetic system were used to rehabilitate the patient. In this way, the combination of a well-known surgical technique with a peculiar prosthetic system that allows for a certain degree of tolerance resulted in it being useful for full-arch immediate loading. Future research and studies are necessary to prove the reliability of this full-digital protocol.
