Subsequently, the team designed the<br />

immediate provisional restoration using<br />

CARES ® Visual software. Specific details and<br />

aspects of the planned restorations and<br />

treatment concepts were explored, validated<br />

and approved during virtual planning<br />

sessions between the Smile in a Box team<br />

and the clinicians.<br />

Following approval, the surgical templates,<br />

provisional restoration, implants, and<br />

any additional prosthetic parts and<br />

surgical tools required for the full surgical<br />

treatment procedure were conveniently<br />

assembled by the Straumann team and<br />

delivered in an all-in-one shipment to the<br />

clinic.<br />

Specifically, the plan involved a firstmolar-to-first-molar<br />

prosthetic restoration<br />

supported by four interforaminal BLX<br />

Roxolid ® SLActive ® implants, consisting<br />

of two anterior Ø3.75 x 12mm implants in<br />

positions 32 and 42, and two Ø4.75 x 12mm<br />

implants in positions 35 and 45. Inclination<br />

of the posterior implants by 17 degrees<br />
