When teeth are extracted, patient face social, psychological and aesthetic problems which can be minimized by fabricating a interim immediate denture. Interim immediate denture manufactured using digital technology can be completed with reduced number of patients' visits and simple laboratory process. Implant-supported removable partial denture (ISRPD) has been suggested as alternative treatment option when fixed implant prosthesis is not feasible. In this case, interim immediate dentures were fabricated using digital technology for patient after teeth extraction and treatment using ISRPD by installing implants and surveyed crowns is found to be successful with better support, stability and maintenance of removable partial dentures.

With the recent development of computer-aided design-computer-aided manufacturing technology and 3D printing technology, and the introduction of various digital techniques, the accuracy and efficiency of top-down definitive prosthetic restoration are increasing. In this clinical case, stable occlusion support was obtained through the placement of a total of 9 maxillary and mandibular posterior implants in patient with anterior-posterior crossed occlusion. The edentulous area of the maxillary anterior teeth, which showed a tendency of high resorption of the residual alveolar bone, was restored with a Kennedy Class IV implant assisted removable partial denture to restore soft tissue esthetics. Computed tomography guided surgery was used to place implants in the planned position, double scan technique was used to reflect the stabilized occlusion in the interim restoration stage to the definitive prostheses, and metal 3D printing was used to manufacture the coping and framework. This clinical case reports that efficient and predictable top-down full mouth rehabilitation was achieved using various digital technologies and techniques.
