Accurate working impression is an essential requirement for the fabrication of implant prosthesis, and digital impressions have recently become more popular. In this case report, a completely digital workflow is introduced for the fabrication of three single-unit screw-retained implant crowns on the posterior maxilla by a dental student, under supervision. This approach involved the use of an intraoral scanner to capture a digital impression of the three implants and their surrounding mucosa, the opposing arch, and occlusion.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of engaging (hexagonal) and non-engaging (non-hexagonal) abutments in various six-unit fixed prosthesis on the stress distribution and loading located in the implant neck, implant abutment, and surrounding bone.
Materials And Methods: Three implants were digitally designed and inserted parallel to each other in edentulous sites of the maxillary right canine, maxillary right central incisor, and maxillary left canine.
Background/purpose: Effects of implant angulation on digital impression accuracy remain controversial. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between the alteration of implant scan bodies and the trueness of digital impressions.
Materials And Methods: A maxillary typodont without the right premolars and first molar was scanned with a laboratory scanner and saved as a standard triangular language (STL) file.
Background/purpose: Recent advancements in dental technology has led clinicians to convert from traditional methods to digital workflows. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of various finish line designs and occlusal morphologies on the accuracy of digital impressions.
Materials And Methods: Six maxillary molar crown preparations were designed by using a digital sculpting software program.
