RESUMO
The purpose of this study is to report a case of full-mouth rehabilitation on six endosseous implants loaded following the standard procedure. It was decided to insert six implants in the maxillary and six implants in the mandibular arch in a patient with no systemic disease. The surgery was performed with the patient under local anesthesia with lignocaine and 1:100,000 adrenaline. Implant stability was sufficient (35 N/cm measured with a torque spring) for all 12 implants. An impression is taken in the open tray with a silicone impression material. Vertical dimension for rest and occlusion was checked with wax occlusal rims placed in the mouth. Interocclusal records were made with the metal framework in place. The final restoration was realized with ceramic layering completed. Good impressions and meticulous attention to detail are crucial for a successful implant-supported fixed prosthesis.
