Due to the demographic change in most highly developed industrial countries implant prosthetic care of older patients is increasingly becoming the focus of professional interest. The following case report of a 73-year-old patient shows that the associated developments in implantology enable predictable restorations on just a few implants without extensive pre-treatment measures. The present case report shows that providing an edentulous patient with six implants and a conditionally removable CAD/CAM-manufactured bridge made of zirconium dioxide ceramic leads to functionally and esthetically pleasing clinical outcomes. Transfer of the functional and morphological parameters from the interim restoration to the definitive reconstruction design led to predictable clinical results and high level of patient satisfaction.
