Digitally and biologically driven zirconia full arch reconstruction: A 10-year results integration static and dynamic guided surgery and guided prostheses
The modern digital workflow integrating static and dynamic guided surgery and immediate guided prosthesis can enhance the treatment of complex cases in which the anatomic deficiencies must be addressed as well as the demands of a minimally invasive approach and high esthetic outcome. Advanced optical scanning technology, blended with the CBCT assessment conducted with the “Smiling Scan Technique” provide the Team with a comprehensive virtual scenario, allowing the creation of the virtual patient and enhancing a digital pathway based on facially driven virtual diagnostic waxing, prosthetic and soft tissue driven implant positioning and immediate fabrication of implant-supported screw-retained interim restorations. The new digital assisted soft tissue sculpturing (DASS) technique to re-configurate the bone and soft tissue and the use of a xenogeneic collagen matrix to achieve a scalloped interface for pink free restoration will be presented. The interplay between the guided surgery planning software and the Navigation System drives the virtual planning and the minimal invasive implant and prostheses positioning to the next level in terms of accuracy, predictability and low morbidity. 10 years outcomes of zirconia based full arch pink free prosthesis will be widely commented providing guidelines for succeeding with this type of restorations.
- Understanding the benefits and disadvantages of using digitally guided surgery and prosthetics techniques
- Gain knowledge on the different clinical indications of CAD/CAM template guided implant surgery and x-guide navigation implant surgery
- Feel confidence and being able to differentiate when immediate loading is feasible
- Managing the soft tissue interface for pink free full arch restorations
