Sumario:Dental implants have been placed millions of times worldwide, and the surgical procedure and implant design have steadily improved. The basic prosthetic connection, which makes use of an abutment, has changed little over the past decades. These days, implant placement with immediate provisionalization is an essential stage in implant dentistry and interdisciplinary treatment strategies. Temporary computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) of implant-supported crowns restore esthetics and guarantee function during the restoration process and the osseointegration of the dental implant. This case report describes the digital planning; the immediate, static, computer-assisted implant surgery, and the immediate chairside provisionalization of a novel implant system that is directly screw-retained without an abutment.
