Digital workflow in implant-prosthetic rehabilitation using guided surgery with single-component implants: a case report with a 4-year follow-up

ABSTRACT

The use of osseointegrated implants today represents a reliable solution for prosthetic rehabilitation, with high long-term success rates. In recent years, attention has also been focused on peri-implant soft tissue and aesthetics, which are influenced by various factors including implant position, tissue quality, and emergence profile. To preserve tissue stability over time, it is crucial to reduce potential risks, such as the microgap between fixture and abutment, which can be avoided with the use of single-piece implants. Although the literature widely reports the advantages of these implants, data on full-arch rehabilitations using guided surgery are still limited. This case report analyzes the clinical and radiographic evolution of peri-implant tissues four years after definitive prosthetic loading on single-piece Fixo implants using guided surgery.
