Abstract

The use of an integrated digital planning and manufacturing modular service and a time-tested dental implant system to treat a completely edentulous patient, as shown in this case report, offers numerous clinical benefits. Computer-guided surgery and digital dentistry have gained in popularity and demonstrated great clinical success; however, clinicians and dental laboratory technicians can further maximize the benefit gained from these technologies through additional training and resource investment. By using the streamlining solution (Smile in a Box®, Straumann) described in a clinical step-by-step manner in this case report, dental professionals can provide effective digital solutions for improved patient treatment acceptance, experience, and satisfaction.
