Case study on digital dental implants

Upper full-arch rehabilitation using 3D-printed temporary restorations

Highlights from the case

In this case, the team uses a 3Shape TRIOS scanner with 3Shape Implant Studio software as the foundation, which can be used to plan treatment and make surgical guides.

Combine scans

Intraoral scans and a CBCT scan were superimposed to plan implant placement from a restorative perspective.

Surgical guide

The doctors designed a surgical guide based on the desired implant position to ensure the correct placement.

Placement

Five implant fixtures were placed using a fully guided surgical protocol.

Restorations

3D-printed temporary restorations were placed over the implants to protect them and the gums during healing.
