Abstract
Numerous clinical and laboratory procedures are required for fabricating an implant-supported fixed complete denture. Such processes can be inconvenient for both dentists and patients, and errors can occur yielding adverse effects on the accuracy of the prosthesis. The introduction of digital technology as well as computer-aided design and manufacturing has allowed for the efficient fabrication of more accurate prostheses. In the prosthetic procedure of placing a full-mouth implant-supported fixed prosthesis, the combination of a healing abutment-type scan body for a digital impression and a conventional closed-mouth impression technique can reduce the number of a patient’s office visits and lab procedures, tests, adjustments. In this study, we described the modified protocol for the fabrication of an implant-supported fixed complete denture. Furthermore, we compared the modified with the conventional protocol and evaluated its clinical applicability and efficiency.
