A completely digital workflow for an interim implant-supported crown: A clinical report

This article describes a completely digital workflow for the diagnostic phase, surgical and prosthetic planning, extraction, immediate single implant placement by guided surgery, and interim implant-supported crown. From a virtual impression, zirconia abutments and a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) interim crown was planned in a computer-aided design (CAD) software program. This workflow shortened the time required for chairside placement of an interim restoration with enhanced function and esthetics while restoring an anterior mandibular tooth lost after trauma.
