Intraoral Scanning for Implant-Supported Complete-Arch Fixed Dental Prostheses: Clinical Applications and Digital Workflows

Course Description:

Advancements in digital prosthodontics have positioned intraoral scanning as a viable alternative to conventional impressions for implant-supported complete-arch fixed dental prostheses (ISCFDPs). This course explores the clinical use, advantages, and limitations of intraoral scanning systems. Through case-based discussions, attendees will gain practical insights into digital workflows, data capture techniques, and prosthesis fabrication, empowering them to enhance accuracy, efficiency, and outcomes in full-arch implant rehabilitation.

Course Objective:

• The indications, limitations, and key accuracy factors of intraoral scanning for full-arch implant prostheses.
• Comparison of digital workflows for efficient data collection and prosthesis fabrication.
• Evaluation of digital vs. conventional techniques to improve accuracy, efficiency, and outcomes in ISCFDP treatments.
