Digital workflow: In vitro accuracy of 3D printed casts generated from complete-arch digital implant scans.

Statement Of Problem: Data on the accuracy of printed casts from complete-arch digital implant scans are lacking.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the 3D accuracy of printed casts from a complete-arch digital implant intraoral scan with stone casts from conventional impressions.

Material And Methods: An edentulous mandibular cast with 4 multiunit abutments with adequate anteroposterior spread was used as the master cast.

Accuracy of printed casts generated from digital implant impressions versus stone casts from conventional implant impressions: A comparative in vitro study.

Objectives: The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the accuracy of printed implant casts from digital impressions with two intra-oral scanners (IOS) to stone casts from conventional impressions. The hypothesis was that printed casts would be more accurate than stone casts from conventional impressions.

Materials And Methods: A mandibular stone cast with Kennedy class II edentulism was fabricated using two internal connection tissue-level implants at 30 degrees to each other (Replace Select RP, Nobel Biocare) to serve as master.

Management of Technical Complications During Full-Mouth Implant Rehabilitation With Hybrid Prostheses Over a 7-Year Period.

Monolithic ceramics have been introduced in dentistry to help reduce technical complications reported with implant-supported metal-resin hybrid prostheses. This clinical report describes the maintenance and technical complications that occurred during a full-mouth implant rehabilitation using different prosthetic materials over a 7-year period. During the course of 4 of those years, multiple technical complications were encountered with the metal-resin hybrid prostheses, prompting the need for increased maintenance.
