All-on-four rehabilitation using photogrammetric impression technique
Quintessence International (Berlin, Germany : 1985)
|March 20, 2019
Summary
Photogrammetry offers a precise digital impression method for full-arch implant restorations, improving accuracy and reducing complications. This technique ensures stable esthetics and function, proving successful in All-on-four rehabilitation.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Prosthodontics
- Digital Imaging
Background:
- Conventional implant impression techniques can introduce distortions, compromising prosthesis accuracy and leading to biomechanical failures.
- Misfit in implant-supported restorations hinders proper stress dissipation, increasing complication risks.
- Digital impressions offer a distortion-free alternative for improved restoration fit.
Observation:
- This case report details the use of photogrammetry for a full-arch, All-on-four implant rehabilitation in a 68-year-old patient.
- The photogrammetric technique was employed for capturing digital impressions of the mandible.
Findings:
- Photogrammetry proved to be a successful digital alternative to conventional multiple-implant impressions.
- The fixed implant-supported restoration demonstrated stable esthetics and function over a one-year follow-up.
- No biomechanical or biologic complications were observed during the follow-up period.
Implications:
- Photogrammetry is a viable digital solution for accurate full-arch implant impressions.
- This technique can enhance the predictability and success of implant-supported prostheses.
- Adoption of photogrammetry may reduce complications associated with conventional impression methods.

01:14Impression Management Techniques IV: Altercasting
174
Altercasting is a strategic communication technique in which an individual imposes a specific identity or social role onto another person to influence their behavior and shape the interaction. By presuming a role—such as “responsible leader” or “patient person”—altercasting encourages the target to conform to that identity, often aligning their behavior with the expectations associated with the role. The power of this tactic lies in its subtlety; once a role...

156
Ingratiation refers to deliberate behaviors aimed at increasing one’s attractiveness or likability to a target person, often for strategic interpersonal or social gain. This set of impression management tactics is especially prevalent in hierarchical contexts, where influencing someone with greater power or authority can yield significant benefits. Several distinct ingratiation strategies have been identified, each leveraging psychological cues to foster favor and affiliation.Opinion...

01:29Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances
213
Appearance is a multidimensional aspect of self-presentation that encompasses observable attributes such as clothing, grooming, speech, and nonverbal behavior. These elements are often strategically managed to align with socially constructed expectations in different settings. For instance, individuals tailor their appearance during job interviews, social gatherings, or athletic events to meet the perceived norms of those environments.Contextual Adaptation and Social SignalsThe research...

130
Aligning actions are communicative strategies individuals employ to maintain social harmony and preserve personal identity in the face of potential disruptions to social norms. These actions are particularly important in managing social impressions when one's behavior might be seen as inappropriate, incompetent, or morally questionable.Types of Aligning ActionsThe three principal types of aligning actions are disclaimers, accounts, and apologies.DisclaimersDisclaimers are preventive; they are...

212
First impressions play a crucial role in social perception, shaping how individuals assess others in professional, academic, and interpersonal contexts. Psychological research highlights the significance of cognitive biases, such as the primacy and recency effects, which influence how people interpret and recall information.The Primacy Effect and Cognitive AnchoringThe primacy effect describes the tendency for initial information to impact judgment disproportionately. When individuals encounter...

01:19Managing Impressions
168
Impression management encompasses individuals' deliberate efforts to shape how others perceive them during social interactions. This behavior is often employed to conform to social norms, secure approval, or pursue specific goals. While it involves selective self-presentation, it is not necessarily deceptive; individuals frequently present authentic aspects of themselves that align with situational demands.Common strategies include:Ingratiation: where individuals use flattery or agreeableness...
