Abstract:
Making an intraoral digital scan for fixed mandibular implant-supported complete-arch prostheses is a clinical challenge. The absence of references in the mandibular arch for precise scan alignment may complicate the correct digital design of the prosthesis framework. This article presents a straightforward method that allows a completely digital approach to digital scanning for fixed mandibular implant-supported prostheses.
