Abstract

Implant has been an effective treatment option for the patients with oligodontia. However, it still remains unclear when the implant should be placed. Skeletal growth that can appear even after the growth period can lead to infraocclusion of the implant which can cause functional or esthetic complications. In order to minimize these problems, definitive restorations should be placed after the functional and esthetic rehabilitation is achieved through the use of provisional restorations. Definitive restorations made with monolithic zirconia were created by replicating provisional restorations by using the latest CAD/CAM technology. These definitive restorations were delivered to the patient and clinical observation after the treatment showed satisfactory result. (J Korean Acad Prosthodont 2016;54:28-34)
