This clinical report describes a full mouth rehabilitation using implant-supported fixed prostheses in a 63-year-old completely edentulous female. The placement of the maxillary implants tended to result in improper angulation, prompting the use of dynamic abutments to correct the unfavorable orientation and ensure proper screw access for the final prosthesis. Definitive prostheses fabricated in monolithic zirconia were selected for durability, biocompatibility, and pleasant optical properties. The full mouth rehabilitation process included creating diagnostic wax arrangements, taking impressions, and occlusal adjustments to define and illustrate functional and esthetic relationships. Definitive prostheses were finally seated with patient approval after positive comments about esthetics and functionality, and a sense of satisfaction with the overall final result. This clinical case displayed the possibility of dynamic abutments for non-axial implants and provided a successful functional, durable, and esthetic prosthesis with both advanced materials and technology. Ongoing follow-up care and regular maintenance for the patient may give the best possibility for establishing the long-term success of implant-supported restorations.
