Treatment of the fully edentulous or the terminal dentition patient today with the immediate load protocols has become accepted globally with predictable outcomes. Reconstruction of patients with full arch prosthesis is an advanced procedure. In order to facilitate the planning, the execution of the surgery/immediate loading as well as the fabrication of the final prosthesis, the Digital workflow is adopted by most teams. However, the treatment planning of the existing fully edentulous or the terminal dentition patient requires a comprehensive knowledge of the fundamental prosthetic as well as the surgical principles.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the accuracy of intraoral photogrammetry (IPG) and direct digital impressions in capturing the three-dimensional (3D) implant position in a fully edentulous mandible model with four multi-unit abutments (MUAs).
Methods: An edentulous mandibular model with four implant analogs was scanned with a reference desktop scanner (INEOS X5®, Sirona) and four different intraoral scanners (IOSs; TRIOS 5®, 3SHAPE; i700®, MEDIT; Aoralscan 3® and Aoralscan Elite IPG®, SHINING 3D), the latter being equipped with an IPG system. In total, 120 scans (30 per IOS) were captured and saved in standard tessellation language (STL) format.

Objectives: This in vitro study aimed to determine the influence of various dental scenarios on the accuracy of computerized optical impressions (COIM), specifically focusing on trueness and precision.
Materials And Methods: Eight resin casts representing different dental scenarios, including fully dentate upper (UU) and lower jaws (UL), full-arch preparation (FA), single abutment preparations (SA), anterior (AB) and lateral bridge preparations (LB), partial crown preparations (PA), and veneer preparations (VE), were digitally captured using an extraoral reference scanner and an intraoral scanner. The datasets from both scanners were superimposed to calculate and statistically evaluate three-dimensional mean deviations.

To investigate the impact of four registration methods on the accuracy of virtual occlusal records (VOR) in intraoral scanning for implant restorations with multiple missing teeth. A mandibular model simulating clinical conditions with multiple missing teeth (right first molar, left second premolar, left first molar, left second molar) and a maxillary compete dentition model were mounted on a semi-adjustable articulator. Subsequently, twelve 0.

Materials And Methods: The neuromuscular condylar positions were recorded by four independent operators in 81 fully dentate subjects with healthy oral function using a central bearing point system and rapid closing movements.
