Figure 8

An implant-supported 3D-printed fixed denture was designed via CAD software (a). Meanwhile, a surgical stent was also printed (b) and used to guide the insertion of implants (c–f); the panoramic X-ray showed that the implants were well positioned (g); the printed fixed denture was subsequently delivered to the patient (h).
