The use of a 3-dimensionally (3D) printed, stackable device to verify a complete arch implant digital scan and record the maxillomandibular relation (MMR) in a single appointment is described. The device consists of a base component serving as a verification device and a superstructure component functioning as a record base. The computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) workflow minimizes the inaccuracies associated with conventional resin verification devices, eliminates the need for additional clinical appointments, and enhances efficiency when providing complete arch implant-supported prostheses.
