Abstract
This report describes the prosthetic treatment of a patient with multiple missing teeth. Installation of five fixtures on maxilla with sinus lift and six fixtures on mandible with ramal bone graft were performed. With implant supported all-ceramic with zirconia core using CAD/CAM technology and porcelain-fused-to-gold prosthesis, treatment with positive outcome which satisfies both functional and esthetical aspect was obtained.
