I case report _ implant rehabilitation plied and set. The veneers were degreased, sand- blasted, and repositioned in the previously made transparent index. The index was secured to the castoverthebar;thelutingcompositewasinjected and cured with light. crea.lign, a light-curing com- positethatachievesahomogeneous,densesurface and thus inhibits plaque formation, was used to finish the CARES Advanced Fixed Bar (Fig. 18). From experience, use of this material reduces the risk of the veneers flaking in the long term. After curing, the occlusion was ground and the bridge was finished and highly polished as usual. _Conclusion After completion of treatment, the patient confirmed that her wishes had been met in full. Chewing function, comfort, and self-confidence had been fully restored. From a financial point of view, this reconstruction did not cost more than manufacturing a conventional removable pros- thesis with bar construction. By contrast, the fol- low-up costs were reduced to a minimum. A fixed reconstruction has had a psychological benefit for this patient, which would not be possible with a removable solution. We therefore firmly believe that this solution is a valid therapeutic option for the treatment of edentulous jaws. Now- adays, patients want solutions for an unrestricted quality of life, combining lasting functionality with attractive smiles. Implant-borne restorations (Figs. 19–21) can offer patients precisely this, as this case demonstrates._ TheauthorswouldliketothanktheESTETIKERlaboratory inLugano,Switzerland,foritscollaboration.
