Restorative Considerations, Prosthodontic Materials, Milling and Fabrication of Full Arch Final Restorations

New digital dental technologies have and will continue to become available to dentists. To evaluate them properly, we must understand that for technology to be a benefit, it must provide measurable value for the patient. Beyond this, it is critical to realize that most improvement in a process comes from eliminating waste from the process. In full-arch implant treatment, utilizing and coordinating the right digital technologies can eliminate waste from all phases of the treatment process. Selecting the right face-scanning, intraoral scanning, photogrammetry, 3-dimensional printing, milling, and finishing equipment and techniques can dramatically improve the patient experience.
