Objectives: This study aims to assess the impact of three different strategies of best-fit (BF) alignments of virtual casts on the estimation of the accuracy of intraoral scanner (IOS) in complete-arch scans.
Methods: A maxillary typodont, modified with an Implant Scan Body (ISB) in the retroincisive area, was digitized using a desktop scanner (SW Optor Lab) to obtain a reference STL file. The typodont was then scanned 10 times using two IOSs (Trios4, Itero).
This clinical report introduces a novel clinical technique to create a 3D virtual patient for transferring the edentulous maxillary arch position with maxillomandibular relationship by using a facial scan device and an intraoral scanner and omitting CBCT imaging.

Material And Methods: The novel system presents a 3-unit toolset comprising intraoral scan bodies (ISBs), lateral pillar attachments (LPAs) and occlusal pillar attachments (OPAs). A 2-stage single visit workflow by an intraoral scanner (Trios 5) was introduced.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of a chairside reverse scanbody workflow for a complete arch implant-supported prosthesis using four intraoral scanners (IOSs) and a desktop scanner.
Material And Methods: A complete arch implant-supported interim prosthesis was designed and milled in polymethylmethacrylate. Six reverse scanbodies (ScAnalog) were connected to the implant-prosthetic connections and twenty scans were made extraorally using four IOS devices (TRIOS 3, TRIOS 5, Primescan v.
A modified scan body system is described to preserve the occlusal vertical dimension and obtain intraoral and extraoral records to transfer to the dental laboratory technician for a complete arch fixed implant-supported prosthesis. This technique helps to effectively manage the orientation and articulation of the maxillary implants for 3-dimensional smile design.
