Novel Esthetic Technique for Restoring Dental Implant Access Holes: A Case Report
<b>Background/Objectives:</b> For dental implant treatment to be successful, esthetics, functionality, and cleanability are all required of the superstructure, which is the final prosthesis. Screw fixation and cementation have been the conventional methods of choice for the crown prosthe...

| description | <b>Background/Objectives:</b> For dental implant treatment to be successful, esthetics, functionality, and cleanability are all required of the superstructure, which is the final prosthesis. Screw fixation and cementation have been the conventional methods of choice for the crown prosthesis of implants, but these individual methods cannot fulfill all the requirements. <b>Methods:</b> As a solution to this problem, we have devised a new implant superstructure restoration method called the inlay covering esthetic technique, which uses computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing inlays. <b>Results:</b> It involves the placement of an inlay covering the access hole in a highly translucent partially stabilized zirconia crown. <b>Conclusions:</b> This technique, demonstrated in this clinical case study, expands the indications for implant treatment and improves the oral quality of life of patients. This case report describes a novel esthetic technique for restoring dental implant access holes. |
