XH04 - Digital Full-Arch Techniques for Predictable Implant Outcomes Using Intraoral Scanning, Photogrammetry, 3D Printing and Milling Without Using an Outside Lab
Associate Clinical Professor Banner University Medical Center Phoenix, Arizona
Clinicians are constantly navigating the delicate balance between delivering high-quality outcomes and managing the complexities of surgery. Digital tools like photogrammetry, intraoral scanning, in-office printing and milling represent the newest available opportunities to streamline high-quality surgical processes we encounter daily and drastically reduce the incidence of error in practice. This is a comprehensive, detailed, step-by-step program on restoring full-arch hybrid implant cases using a completely digital workflow. Attendees will learn about digital restorative protocols, including intraoral scanning, photogrammetry, 3D printing of temporary teeth followed by staining and glazing of the teeth and milling zirconia finals using mills. All participants will discover how to restore full-arch implant cases in the maxilla and mandible utilizing digital dentistry. This simple digital workflow eliminates messy denture conversion. All participants and their staff will learn to perform the step-by-step process to make it possible to perform in their office without utilizing an outside lab.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants should be able to:
Identify the treatment plan and select the appropriate patient for digital versus conventional workflows using full-arch implants.
Assess the need for digital rehabilitation utilizing photogrammetry instead of conventional impression methods.
Determine the need for digital rehabilitation utilizing face scanning towards a facially driven prosthetic reconstruction.
Assess the need for digital rehabilitation utilizing intraoral scanners and scan bodies for capturing hard- and soft-tissue landmarks.
Evaluate the need for prosthetic rehabilitation of full-arch cases utilizing 3D printers and mills.
