  • All the faculties at the prosthodontic department in Kyung Hee University Dental Hospital at Gangdong, have been implementing the Top-Down concept of treatment approach since 2006 in which the outcomes of the last prosthetic treatment are predicted in advance during the treatment planning stage of patients with dental tissue defects. Based on the Top-Down concept, this report is also an example of how the final prosthetic treatment was performed in advance before going into implant surgery for the missing teeth. Among the various methods of connecting implant fixture and restoration, the cement-retained method is relatively simple to manufacture restoration without being constrained by the angle of the implants placed, but difficult to remove remaining subgingival excess cement completely, and to detach it being when necessary. In the report, SB-locking method will be introduced which enables an aesthetic implant restoration without either a screw hole or residual excess cement.
