When fabricating a maxillary full-arch implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis, it is often challenging to systematically reduce alveolar bone to create prosthetic space and hide the prosthesis-tissue junction. This article presents a digital technique that allows for precise bone reduction while simultaneously placing implants and interim prostheses. By using this technique, clinicians can perform surgical procedures in a systematic manner without compromising the functional or esthetic outcomes. This article is protected by copyright.
