Flapless Approach and Digital Workflow in the Implant-Prosthetic Rehabilitation of the Maxillary Arch Using Electrowelded One-Piece Implants and a Two-Stage Implant in the Tuber Region: 6-Year Clinical Follow-Up

Abstract

Implant rehabilitation of the maxillary arch represents a clinical challenge due to the poor quality of maxillary bone and its anatomical complexity. This article describes a clinical case of full-arch maxillary rehabilitation performed flaplessly using a combination of grade 3 titanium one-piece implants, bent and stabilized through intraoral electrowelding, along with a posterior two-stage implant placed in the tuberosity region. The 6-year clinical and radiographic follow-up demonstrated implant stability, absence of biological complications, and satisfactory prosthetic function.
