_In dental implantology, the optimal and truly passive fit of the framework is essential for the long- term success of a restoration owing to the physiology of bone tissue around implants. For a multiple-unit implant-supported restoration, the traditional pour- ing technique is rather complex and challenging. The difficultyofachievingapassivefitisdirectlycorrelated to the number of components used and the volume oftheframework.CAD/CAMtechnologyprovidessuch a high level of accuracy that it has revolutionised the fieldofrestorativedentistry. Today, many implant manufacturers collaborate withindustrialcompaniestodevelopstate-of-the-art machining solutions for their implant-supported frameworks. In that regard, the concept developed by Simeda (Anthogyr) is innovative and supported by many years of proven success in the fabrication of CAD/CAMdentalrestorations.Themajoradvantageof CAD/CAM technology is that it guarantees a highly accurate and predictable fit (< 10 µ). This clinical case report demonstrates the high potential of this novel digitalsolution. _Patient presentation Themalepatientwasaformersmokerand51years old when the treatment was initiated.
