I case study _ backward planning _Summary Patient A 50-year-old male patient missing tooth 26 asked for an implant-supported crown. Challenge The patient wished to combine implant place- ment and insertion of a provisional crown in only one treatment session. Treatment Using a CBCT scan of the clinical situation im- ported into the SIMPLANT software, a customised ATLANTIS Abutment, as well as a provisional crown andasurgicalguide,werefabricatedbeforesurgery. Onthedayofimplantplacement,theabutmentand provisionalcrownwereincorporated,followingthe Immediate Smile concept. _Case study Planning Planning for dental implants starting from the desired crown position (backward planning) has been an intrinsic part of implant therapy for years andisimplementedsuccessfullybymanytreatment teams. This case presents a treatment protocol in which the advantages of backward planning were realised using SIMPLANT computer-guided treat- Fig. 1_When determining the ideal prosthetic implant position, the virtual set-up acted as specification.
