Case report:

A 67-year-women, is evaluated regarding implant treatment for the edentulous maxilla. The patient is assessed with a cone beam computarized tomography (CBCT) for diagnosis of bone volume for maxillary implant placement. The data from CBCT were used for treatment planning. Eight maxillary implants were treatment planned. Acrylic surgical guide is fabricated according digital data. Implants were inserted for a flapless surgical technique with an accuraced drilling. After a 4 months-period of time, a delayed loading of implants is realized for a maxillary fixed rehabilitation.

Conclusions:

This clinical case indicated that maxillary fixed rehabilitation by a guided surgery protocol is an implant treatment with a high clinical successful outcome.
