Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Digital Imaging

Background:

  • Complete-arch implant fixed prosthodontics traditionally relies on conventional or intraoral scanning (IOS) for impression accuracy.
  • Emerging digital technologies aim to improve efficiency and precision in prosthetic workflows.
  • Photogrammetry (PG) presents a novel approach to data acquisition in this field.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the application and efficacy of photogrammetry (PG) as an alternative impression technique in complete-arch implant fixed prosthodontics.
  • To evaluate the trueness and precision of PG compared to conventional methods.
  • To identify the potential benefits and limitations of PG in implant dentistry workflows.

Main Methods:

  • A narrative review of existing in vitro and in vivo studies evaluating photogrammetry in complete-arch implant prosthodontics.
  • Analysis of evidence regarding PG's accuracy, workflow compatibility, and clinical applicability.
  • Identification of current limitations and future directions for PG technology.

Main Results:

  • Photogrammetry demonstrates high trueness and precision for complete-arch implant prosthodontics.
  • The technique is compatible with both immediate and delayed loading protocols.
  • PG has the potential to minimize prosthetic misfit and reduce chairside adjustments.

Conclusions:

  • Photogrammetry is a viable alternative to conventional and IOS impression techniques in implant dentistry.
  • Limitations such as the need for supplementary IOS scans, device cost, and scope restrictions require further attention.
  • Advancements in integration and accessibility could significantly expand the role of PG in future implant dentistry practices.
