{Abstract}: CT-guided surgery has demonstrated superior accuracy over traditional methods in the dental literature. However, inherent errors such as discrepancies between jaw dimensions in scans and reality can challenge the fabrication of screw-retained provisional restorations. These discrepancies can impede final restoration fabrication. Traditional immediate loading of edentulous jaws using temporary cylinders in existing dentures often requires time-consuming abutment positioning and drilling. Many articles addressed these issues through minimally invasive implant placement with immediate loading, achieved through careful preoperative planning and exact prosthetic techniques. CT-guided surgery facilitates minimally invasive procedures and immediate restoration of edentulous jaws, resulting in reduced morbidity and quicker, more precise outcomes. This case report illustrates how digital dentistry enhances implant placement precision and reliability. It involves using a lock object system between the surgical guide and provisional restoration, streamlining the process. A 59-year-old male with significant periodontal issues and non-restorable teeth was treated with implant-supported fixed prostheses using digital planning and computer-fabricated surgical guides. The plan included immediate loading with mechanical and magnetic locks for optimal outcomes. The patient received complete fixed provisional restorations on both arches through minimally invasive procedures. Digital dentistry facilitated precise implant placement and restoration, improving function, esthetics, and patient satisfaction. Digital technologies streamlined the process, reducing time and enhancing predictability and reproducibility. In conclusion, integrating digital dentistry into implant treatment planning and execution offers enhanced accuracy, efficiency, and patient outcomes. By utilizing digital technologies and innovative methods, clinicians can attain consistent and reliable outcomes, thereby enhancing the quality of care for patients undergoing implant therapy.
