Disruptive Innovations and Digital Workflows for Full-Arch Implant

Disruptive Innovations and Digital Workflows for Full-Arch Implant Rehabilitation

Various digital workflows are being implemented currently in full-arch implant rehabilitation with unclear results and predictability. This presentation will address a disruptive clinical protocol from “A-to-Z” for complete digital workflow in full-arch rehabilitation for both terminal dentition and edentulous patients with CAD/CAM implant-supported fixed complete dental prostheses.

A step-by-step digital approach from diagnostic data collection and digital planning (co-Diagnostix) to implant surgical placement (Smile-in-a-Box) as well as digital prosthetic rehabilitation (RevEX) will be illustrated through clinical cases and supported by scientific evidence from multicenter clinical trials.

LECTURE OBJECTIVES

At the conclusion of this session, attendees should be able to:

• 1. Understand the disruptive innovations that digital planning and guided surgery with immediacy prosthetic protocols have brought in full-arch fixed implant rehabilitation
• 2. Discuss the scientific evidence for the application of extraoral reverse scanning to overcome the intraoral scanning challenges and pitfalls
• 3. Illustrate step-by-step the extraoral reverse scanning protocol for the complete digital workflow from planning to final rehabilitation for both terminal dentition and edentulous patients
