Simultaneous Implant Placement and Delivery of a Definitive Fixed Prosthesis: A Novel Protocol.

Abstract

This case report describes a novel technique enabling the simultaneous placement of dental implants and delivery of a definitive fixed implant-supported prosthesis in a single treatment encounter. This protocol employs a precise CAIS approach that eliminates the need for an interim prosthesis and minimizes the number of clinical visits, offering notable patient-centered benefits and reducing environmental impact. Careful patient selection and clinician expertise are essential, as the risk of implant non-integration remains a critical consideration. This approach marks a potential advancement in edentulous rehabilitation, meriting further investigation for broader clinical application.
