Summary
This study details a digital workflow for full-mouth dental implant rehabilitation. A novel triple digital scan technique for the mandible ensures accurate prosthetic fitting and enhances patient treatment.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Prosthodontics
- Digital Dentistry
Background:
- Complete-arch implant rehabilitation is complex.
- Digital workflows offer potential for improved accuracy and efficiency.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a complete digital workflow for maxillary and mandibular complete-arch implant rehabilitation.
- To present a novel triple digital scan technique for the mandibular arch.
Main Methods:
- Utilized a double digital scan for the maxillary arch and a triple digital scan for the mandibular arch.
- Employed scan bodies for implant positions and soft tissue landmarks.
- Recorded the interocclusal relationship in a single appointment.
Main Results:
- The digital protocol facilitated accurate recording of all necessary data.
- A new mandibular scanning technique using provisional prosthesis windows was successfully implemented.
- Prototype and definitive zirconia prostheses were fabricated and verified.
Conclusions:
- A complete digital workflow is effective for maxillary and mandibular complete-arch implant rehabilitation.
- The novel triple digital scan technique enhances accuracy in mandibular rehabilitation.
- This approach streamlines the fabrication and verification of complete-arch prostheses.
