Face oriented digital workflow for transferring intraoral and extraoral data of edentulous arch rehabilitated with multiple implants: A clinical technique

      Abstract

      A modified scan body system is described to preserve the occlusal vertical dimension and obtain intraoral and extraoral records to transfer to the dental laboratory technician for a complete arch fixed implant-supported prosthesis. This technique helps to effectively manage the orientation and articulation of the maxillary implants for 3-dimensional smile design.
