ABSTRACT
Surgical procedures on partially edentulous patients for complete arch implant-supported prostheses involve remaining tooth extraction, alveolar bone reduction, and implant placement. Traditionally, partially edentulous patients undergo multiple surgeries, which extends the healing time and results in an extensively prolonged total treatment timeline. This technical article focuses on the fabrication of a more stable and predictive surgical guide to perform multiple surgical procedures in a single surgical appointment and planning a complete arch implant-supported prosthesis for the partially edentulous patient.
