This clinical case describes a fully digital chairside workflow integrating AI-assisted CAD platforms and additive manufacturing to fabricate custom post-and-cores, posterior onlays, and definitive crowns. Discover how full automation with DentaBridge reduces design time, minimizes operator intervention, and enhances the predictability of contemporary restorative dentistry.

Using injectable grafts in narrow sinuses via a small crestal osteotomy permits fast and controlled hydrodynamic membrane elevation and excellent space adaptation. Immediate placement is recommended to provide a tenting effect that counteracts sinus pressure and helps maintain graft volume during healing.

51-year-old patient presented with posterior tooth loss and deep bite occlusion. A full-mouth rehabilitation was planned using CBCT and guided implant placement. The implants were placed immediately using an immediate loading approach, multiple unit connection and screw-retained temporaries. A bone graft was performed to preserve the cavities and crest.

A 49 years old patient, wearing a complete upper removable denture and an ill-fitting lower removable partial denture. A bone reduction surgical guide and an implant placement surgical guide were planned. A full-arch monolithic-zirconia tubelock split-framework design with Exocad software was executed.

Transcrestal sinus floor elevation with an injectable collagenated xenograft that simultaneously lifts the sinus membrane and fills the newly created subantral space, followed by simultaneous placement of a 10-mm implant.

Vertical bone regeneration beneath the sinus floor to allow for a delayed implant placement in site 2.6, targeting a final bone height ≥ 8–10 mm while preserving the integrity of the Schneiderian membrane.
