Material and Methods: A prospective case series of 8 patients who required full-arch rehabilitation was conducted. The main inclusion criteria were patients with teeth that required extraction. At least 1 molar per arch was temporarily employed to stabilize the surgical template and the provisional prosthesis during intraoral relining. Results: Two upper implants failed in 1 patient. Structural fracture was registered in 3 patients, around 3 months after loading. All of them had bruxism. Three esthetic complications were registered: midline deviation,canting of the oclusal plane and color mismatch. Conclusions: Although this protocol achieves optimal results, some mechanical complications were encountered. The fracture of the provisional prosthesis is a relatively common mechanical complication but does not seem to jeopardize the final treatment result.6 p.application/pdfeng(c) Medicina Oral SL, 2017Maxil·larsPròtesis dentalsRestauració dentalJawsDental prosthesisDental Restorationinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6825062018-10-25info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess29075419
