This report presents a new clinical protocol that facilitates the diagnostic, surgical, and prosthetic phases of immediately loaded implant rehabilitations. The proposed technique aims to simplify recording of the centric relation, which is usually done immediately after surgery, during the surgical impression phase. This shortens operative time while meeting requirements for an accurate impression and is thus simple and cost effective. The case report of a maxillary full-arch immediately loaded implant rehabilitation in a 45-year-old patient illustrates the clinical steps in the proposed procedure and confirms its repeatability.
