Key Points

  • The aim is to detail a prosthetically guided approach for maxillary anterior rehabilitation in a patient with dental gaps.
  • Described diagnostic preparation including wax-up and intraoral mock-up.
  • Used robotic assistance for precise implant placement at two specific sites.
  • Employed custom healing abutments to manage soft tissue appearance during recovery.
  • Successful implant placements avoiding maxillary sinus with precision.
  • Restorative trajectory maintained throughout procedures leading to high-quality prosthesis delivery.
  • Treatment executed predictably within a predoctoral clinic setting.

Abstract

This clinical report describes a prosthetically directed execution to maxillary anterior rehabilitation in a patient with congenitally missing lateral incisors, retained primary molars, and anterior segment spacing. The definitive tooth morphology and eccentric guidance were established before surgery through a diagnostic wax-up, intraoral mock-up, and conservative direct bonding to confirm esthetic and functional parameters. Implant placement at sites #5 and #12 was then completed using robotic-assisted intervention, allowing versatile mesial-angulation correction of the osteotomies to avoid the maxillary sinus floor while maintaining the restorative trajectory. Custom polyetheretherketone healing abutments were used to retain the peri-implant soft tissue phenotype, followed by the delivery of high-quality definitive prostheses for maxillary anterior fixed rehabilitation. Establishing prosthetic acquisition first transformed the surgical phase into two straightforward implant sites, allowing all treatment steps to be carried out predictably within the predoctoral clinic while maintaining precision and treatment quality.
