A 30-year-old man presented to a private practice with the chief complaint being “I want to replace the teeth that are missing on my upper jaw”. The clinical and radiographic examination revealed the absence of teeth #24, #25, and #26 (Fig. 2,3). Following a proper diagnosis, the treatment plan proposed was the placement of two implants, followed by the placement of immediate final abutments at the same time of the surgery (One Time Clever Concept, C-Tech Implant). The planned final prosthesis consisted of a 3-unit bridge over implants.
