Computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacture technology is changing the way clinicians are planning treatment and delivering dental implant therapy. Although the current technology is impressive and successful clinically, there are limitations in the design that prevent all patients from benefiting immediately from this computer-designed modality. This article describes a unique prosthet...

This clinical report describes a technique to stabilize a computer-aided dental implant surgical guide to existing implants. A patient requested conversion of her existing mandibular implant-assisted overdenture into a fixed complete denture. The surgical procedure was planned virtually, and the two existing dental implants were integrated into the surgical plan as a means to fixate the surgica...
