Vantagens e desvantagens do uso da prótese unitária implantossuportada e o sistema CAD/CAM

Abstract

Introduction: The present work consists of a literature review focused on the advantages and disadvantages of implant-supported single prostheses, with an emphasis on the use of the CAD/CAM system. Objective: addressing the importance of oral rehabilitation through dental implants, the research aims to highlight the proven effectiveness of these procedures and the growing search for more predictable and aesthetically satisfactory solutions. Material and method: this review was carried out using electronic databases PUBMED, MEDLINE, LILACS, BBO and Scielo, and articles were selected based on inclusion criteria that considered studies published in the last 15 years in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Results: the CAD/CAM system has established itself as a crucial tool in the manufacture of these prostheses, allowing precision, efficiency and customization. Conclusion: the advantages offered by implant-supported single prostheses are highlighted, including greater balance in the distribution of masticatory loads, superior aesthetic results and greater ease of cleaning, despite some limitations and associated high initial costs. The study highlights the continuous evolution of CAD/CAM technology, always expanding treatment possibilities and providing restorations of high aesthetic and functional quality.
