Abstract

The fully digital workflow has enhanced the predictability of full-arch implant-supported rehabilitations by integrating prosthetically driven implant planning in both the surgical and prosthetic phases. This case report describes the bimaxillary full-mouth rehabilitation of a partially edentulous patient with functional and esthetic impairment, who was treated using a digital workflow involving intraoral and facial scanning, prosthetically driven implant planning, guided surgery, and immediate loading. Due to insufficient maxillary bone volume, the treatment was performed in two phases, consisting of maxillary reconstruction followed by implant placement after the healing period. Virtual planning was complemented by the double-scan computed tomography technique and digital transfer of the implant positions using horizontal scanbodies for full-arch scanning. The passive fit of the verification metal framework at the first clinical try-in confirmed the agreement between the virtual planning and the clinical execution, and the patient exhibited stable peri-implant tissues after 1 year of follow-up. The treatment protocol demonstrated clinical applicability and the potential to provide predictable rehabilitation through a fully digital workflow.
