Author & Lab
Il Dente Laboratory fabricated this full-arch implant-supported restoration using saremco print CROWNTEC combined with a PEEK reinforcement structure. The collaboration with SAREMCO Dental AG enabled a digital workflow with high precision, reduced weight and natural esthetics throughout the entire fabrication process.
The full-arch framework positioned on the master model to verify passive fit, implant alignment, and occlusal relationships before final processing.
Side-view validation ensured correct soft-tissue support, emergence profile, and the accuracy of the PEEK reinforcement.
A final check of the framework design was performed to guarantee optimal seating and the correct position of all implant interfaces.
The permanent suprastructure was 3D printed using saremco print CROWNTEC, providing high strength, long-term stability, and natural esthetics.
CROWNTEC’s material properties allow fine surface detail, accurate anatomy, and natural gingival transitions after characterization and polishing.
Multiple bench views confirm precise morphology, balanced occlusion, and clean screw-channel integration before clinical delivery.
The complete full-arch restoration weighs approximately 9.2 grams due to the PEEK bar and CROWNTEC material, improving patient comfort significantly.
The prosthesis showed a stable, passive fit with natural esthetics, seamless gingival blending, and appropriate tooth morphology.
The right lateral view demonstrates correct occlusal contacts, screw-channel positioning, and balanced functional movement.
The left side confirms harmonious soft-tissue transitions, stable occlusion, and the accuracy of the final full-arch seating.
Digital Planning & Implant Position Analysis
Digital planning was carried out using the patient’s implant positions and soft-tissue contours to establish an anatomically correct full-arch design. The planning stage focused on achieving a passive framework fit, balanced occlusion, and esthetic tooth placement aligned with facial and functional parameters. This foundation ensured predictable integration of the PEEK framework and the final CROWNTEC suprastructure.
Fabrication of the PEEK Reinforcement Framework
A high-precision PEEK framework was fabricated to provide mechanical strength, shock-absorption, and long-term biomechanical stability within the all-on-x configuration. The framework was validated on the master model to confirm passive seating at all implant interfaces and to ensure proper support for the gingival architecture and prosthetic tooth setup.
3D Printing of the Permanent Suprastructure
The permanent full-arch suprastructure was 3D printed using saremco print CROWNTEC, a biocompatible Class IIa resin designed for long-term restorations. CROWNTEC’s high accuracy and strength enabled precise reproduction of tooth morphology, smooth surface textures, and stable marginal transitions. Post-curing ensured optimal mechanical properties and long-term durability.
Bonding, Characterization & Surface Finishing
Following post-processing, the printed suprastructure was bonded to the PEEK bar using a controlled workflow to ensure uniform tension distribution. Gingival areas were characterized to achieve natural esthetics and seamless tissue transitions. The final polishing phase refined surface gloss and micro-texture, enhancing the overall visual integration of the full-arch restoration.
Intraoral Placement & Final Evaluation
During clinical delivery, the prosthesis demonstrated a passive fit with correct screw seating and stable occlusal relationships. Lateral and frontal views confirmed harmonious emergence profiles, natural esthetics, and functional integration. The extremely lightweight design (~9.2 g) provided improved patient comfort while maintaining long-term structural reliability.
