Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Digital Dentistry
  • Prosthodontics

Background:

  • Traditional analog workflows for full-arch implant prostheses can be time-consuming.
  • Digital acquisition of implant positions in fully edentulous patients presents unique challenges.
  • Extraoral scanning techniques offer a novel approach to digital impressioning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the application of an extraoral scanning technique for digital implant impressioning.
  • To demonstrate the "reverse scan body protocol" as a digital simulation of analog workflows.
  • To illustrate the fabrication of definitive monolithic zirconia full-arch prostheses using this digital method.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an extraoral scanning technique to capture implant positions in two fully edentulous patients.
  • Employed the "reverse scan body protocol" for digital data acquisition.
  • Designed and fabricated definitive monolithic zirconia full-arch prostheses based on the digital scans.

Main Results:

  • Successfully captured implant positions using the extraoral scanning technique.
  • The "reverse scan body protocol" effectively simulated the traditional back-pouring technique.
  • Fabrication of definitive monolithic zirconia full-arch prostheses was achieved.

Conclusions:

  • Extraoral scanning with the "reverse scan body protocol" is a viable alternative for digital acquisition of implant positions.
  • This digital workflow enables efficient design and fabrication of full-arch prostheses.
  • Monolithic zirconia is a suitable material for definitive full-arch implant restorations fabricated with this technique.
