Abstract
Twenty-two implants placed in four Taiwan patients to support immediate full-arch restorations (one mandible and three maxilla) with intact opposite dentition. Passive-fit metal-reinforced frameworks were fabricated chair side by intraoral welding method and all patients had definitive restorations on surgery day. All restorations were fabricated with implant-level components, screw-retained and inflicted full occlusal loading on the first day. Patients were recalled seven days, one month, three months and six months, with the follow-up period being over nine months until April 2016. All implants were osseointegrated, no infection was observed around the implants and no fracture or cracking was found on the restorations. All patients were satisfied with the restorations.
