Abstract:
Although there are difficulties with using intraoral scans for implant-supported complete-arch fixed dental prostheses (ISCFDPs), several commercially available systems have become helpful in simplifying the treatment process in the prosthetic phase. These systems help patients move from interim ISCFDPs to receiving definitive prostheses in just three clinical visits. This clinical report summarizes the indications, benefits, and limitations of the four systems. The information provided in this report about the digital prosthetic workflow of ISCFDPs aims to help clinicians make well-informed choices and improve treatment results. With digital technologies advancing, refining these tools and protocols, and validating research is crucial for continued evolution in the field.
