A Computed Tomographic Scan–Derived Customized Surgical Template and Fixed Prosthesis for Flapless Surgery and Immediate Loading of Implants in Fully Edentulous Maxillae: A Prospective Multicenter Study

Abstract

The present prospective multicenter study indicates that the prefabrication, on the basis of models derived from three-dimensional oral implant planning software, of both surgical templates for flapless surgery and dental prostheses for immediate loading is a very reliable treatment option. It is evident that the same approach could be used for staged surgery and in partial edentulism.
