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.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Prosthodontics promotes the advanced study and practice of prosthodontics, implant, esthetic, and reconstructive dentistry. It is the official journal of the American College of Prosthodontists, the American Dental Association-recognized voice of the Specialty of Prosthodontics. The journal publishes evidence-based original scientific articles presenting information that is relevant and useful to prosthodontists. Additionally, it publishes reports of innovative techniques, new instructional methodologies, and instructive clinical reports with an interdisciplinary flair. The journal is particularly focused on promoting the study and use of cutting-edge technology and positioning prosthodontists as the early-adopters of new technology in the dental community.
