Abstract
Splinting frameworks are intended to increase the accuracy of complete arch intraoral
digital implant scans. This article describes a technique that uses a calibrated splinting
framework manufactured by combining milled and additively manufacturing technologies
(IOSRing) for assisting with complete arch intraoral digital implant scanning. The
splinting framework contains milled truncated cone-shape markers whose position in
the metal framework is measured during the manufacturing process with a coordinate
measurement machine. This framework splints the modified implant scan bodies and assists
in the complete arch intraoral implant digital scanning. Computer-aided design procedures
are then used to calculate the implant position on the virtual definitive implant
cast by using the position of the calibrated markers as a reference.
