Intraoral Implant Scanning and Digital Workflows in Full-Arch Implant Rehabilitation

The current applications of digital technology in Implant Dentistry include imaging, digital planning, template-guided implant placement, digital impressions with intraoral scanners and CAD/CAM prostheses.

Digital planning software for treatment planning, digital impressions with intraoral scanners and 3-D printers are currently integrated with CAD/CAM technology for efficient surgical and prosthodontic workflow. This presentation will address the status and illustrate the clinical protocols for complete digital workflow in fixed implant rehabilitation for edentulous patients in a step-by-step approach coupled with all the available scientific evidence.

Learning objectives

• Describe the various applications of digital technology in full-arch fixed implant rehabilitation
• Understand the scientific evidence for each step of applied digital technology in full-arch fixed implant rehabilitation
• Illustrate step-by-step the protocol for the complete digital workflow from impression to final rehabilitation for edentulous patients
