Management of a Staged Approach in an Implant‐Supported Complete‐Arch Fixed Dental Prosthesis ( ISCFDP ) With a Long Term, Long Span Fixed Provisional Prosthesis, Leveraging a Full Digital Approach: A Case Report

OBJECTIVES: To describe the clinical implementation of a staged approach using strategically selected abutment teeth, a cobalt-chromium-reinforced long-span provisional prosthesis, and a fully digital workflow for maxillary FP-2 full-arch rehabilitation. OVERVIEW: A 48-year-old male with advanced periodontal disease underwent a staged full-arch implant rehabilitation. Maxillary canines and first molars were preserved to support a long-span fixed provisional prosthesis. A fully digital workflow was employed, including CBCT, intraoral scanning, and photogrammetry. A cobalt-chromium framework reinforced the provisional prosthesis, enhancing strength and stability during the healing period. Following soft tissue maturation, a definitive zirconia prosthesis was digitally designed and delivered with minimal adjustment. CONCLUSION: This case highlights the value of a strategically staged approach that preserves key abutment teeth and incorporates a robust digital workflow. The method enabled precise implant placement, improved prosthetic predictability, and optimized esthetic and functional outcomes.
