Immediately loaded interim complete-arch implant-supported fixed dental prostheses fabricated with a completely digital workflow: A clinical technique.

A digital method for delivering an immediately loaded interim complete-arch implant-supported prosthesis is described. Reference pins were used to accurately superimpose a postoperative scan with the scan bodies in place on a preoperative scan with the framework design, including the interocclusal relationship and the occlusal scheme. A prefabricated auxiliary device was used after surgery to record the position of the implants and after scanning to obtain an accurate transfer of the implant positions by means of a free software program, allowing an excellent fit of the fabricated prosthesis. This technique can help in the fabrication of an interim prosthesis with better fit and comfort and reduced chair time than conventional techniques.
