   Abstract:	INTRODUCTION: The treatment of the complete or partially edentulous patient with a prothesis supported by dental implants is a procedure with high predictability. Themost important factor is the osteointegration of the implant.AIM OF PRESENTATION: Analysis of the clinical methods of evaluation of the osteointegration.DESCRIPTION: The method most commonly used is the intraoral radiograph that allows us to study the level of the bone and to identify radiolucencies around the implant. This technique will be modified by the quality of the X-ray image, the range of the optical system of humans, subjective interpretation and the problem of quantifying. The X-ray is not enough. Digital X-ray systems provide some advantages such us lower exposure to radiation, the possibility of modifying images, measuring lengths and angles, and densitometric studies. The resonance frequency analysis syste(Osstell) is a technique that evaluates the stability of the interface bone-implant. Used when connecting the abutments, it shows us the degree of osteointegration (protocols of early loading).

   Title in English:	The CAD-CAM System in the Construction of a Telescopic Prosthesis Over Six Implants
   Title in Croatian:	nema
   Type of Article:	congress abstract
   MeSH:	COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN DENTAL PROSTHESIS, IMPLANT-SUPPORTED
   Abstract:	INTRODUCTION: The CAD-CAM system provides the posibility of making titanium framework with great precision and without deformations which can take place in clinical technigues.AIM OF THE STUDY: The objective was to analize, through a clinical case, the use of the ALL-IN-ONE system.MATERIAL AND METHODS: In a female patient, 50 years of age, we installed six osteointegrated implants in maxillary bone. After the integration period we decided to contruct a telescopic prosthesis with the All-in-one system due to the inclination of the implants.We tookimpressions by a method that splints together the abutments. Withthe model obtained we made a primary structure in titanium, compensating the vestibular direction of the implants, and over this primary structure we made a secondary telescopic metal structure, designed with the dental shape, that was obtained by frictional means and the use of three “Ipso-clip” retainers.RESULT: The CAD-CAM system seems to be an excellent system for providing a good fit in complex metal frameworks from the clinical point of view.
