Facial Analysis for the Digital Planning of a Full-Mouth Implant Restoration

As dental implant treatment has evolved over the years, greater emphasis has been placed on the dentofacial aspect of restorations, with strong consideration given to incisal edge position and preoperative lip dynamics. In this case report, a male patient desired a fixed implant prosthesis to replace his failing dentition and tooth-supported fixed and removable appliances. Utilizing a dentofacial analyzer, facial reference glasses, intraoral scans, and CBCT scans, the clinician was able to plan and complete the implant case in a digital workflow. The case illustrates a method of systematically diagnosing, planning, and staging treatment for a full-mouth implant rehabilitation with immediate function and dramatically improved esthetics.
