| Sumario: | Introduction Planning fixed prosthodontic reconstruction can be challenging task in everyday practice. When the last tooth in dental arch is missing, a single implant-supported crown is recommended. With the evolution of digital technology, it became possible that these restorations can be made using completely digital approach. The aim of this case report was to present complete clinical procedure of making implant supported single zirconia crowns for posterior teeth using completely digital approach. Case report A 53-year-old patient presented to the dental office with missing both first molars in the lower dental arch. The decision was made to make two implant-supported single screw-retained crowns, using digital approach. Intraoral scanning of the soft tissues and the implants' position was done using intraoral scanner Medit i500. The laboratory steps followed: computer-assisted design (CAD) and computer-assisted manufacturing (CAM) of zirconia crowns. Conclusion Implant-supported single crowns for posterior teeth are an excellent solution for patients when the last tooth in dental arch is missing. Digital approach-from initial intraoral scanning (IOS), to designing the restoration in software and further processing of monolithic CAD/CAM generated crowns out of zirconia gives predictable, highly esthetic and functional results for implant-supported single crowns. |
