RESUMEN
Rapid technological advances in dental implantology, computer imaging, and dental radiography in combination with traditional prosthetic concepts offer today's clinicians unprecedented possibilities in diagnosis and treatment planning. This article presents information on the use of three-dimensional computed tomography scan analysis to determine the quality (density), quantity, and location of bone to establish the most effective implant placement. In addition, this article analyzes the correlation of prosthodontic, periodontic, and technological concepts necessary for completion of a maxillary and mandibular fixed, full-mouth rehabilitation.

Post and core systems have evolved dramatically over the past few years. Some procedures based on the use of resin-composite systems seem destined for failure in the long term. New glass ionomer based systems, employing resin hybrid materials should give rise to fewer complications and prove simpler to use. Nevertheless, intelligent case selection and the application of sound basic design principles are required to make the best use of any system.
