Abstract
A simplified digital workflow is described for a complete arch implant-supported prosthesis with the restoration of the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) using a 3-dimensionally printed interim prosthesis and an esthetic jaw incisor guide. After VDO definition and intraoral scanning, a screw-retained interim prosthesis was printed, clinically tested, and used to guide the fabrication of the definitive prosthesis. The approach showed predictable esthetic and functional results, though caution is needed in patients with parafunctional habits because of the limited strength of printed resins.
