The Auriga technique is indicated for implant rehabili- tation in edentulous patients. The purpose of the Auriga technique is to fa- cilitate treatment from the partially or completely edentulous state to a full-arch fixed implant- supportedrestoration.Thereisnodowntimewhen thepatienthasaremovableprosthesis.Throughall phases of the Auriga treatment technique, the pa- tient has fixed teeth. The Auriga protocol can also eliminatecostlyandcomplicatedsinusaugmenta- tion procedures. Auriga protocol can be used for lower jaw rehabilitations as well. This technique was presented for the first time in 2007 at the seventh AISI International Implant Congress in Bologna, Italy, and has been improved upon throughout the years. Ten-year statistics for 14 full-arch cases with 121 implants and 193 prosthetic teeth, completed by the authors of this article, confirm the validity and reliability of this procedure. No failed cases were observed during this time period. _Advantages of the Auriga Protocol for the clinician The need for a provisional denture, either complete or partial is eliminated. A maxillary sinus grafting procedure is unnecessary. Occlusal func- tion will be restored with the benefit of a complete posterior tooth arrangement. _Advantages of the Auriga Protocol for the patient All of the advantages of a fixed prosthesis as compared to a removable prosthesis apply, includ- ing primarily the added comfort and experience of nothavingtofunctionwitharemovableappliance.
