Utilization of digitally milled verification jigs for recording jaw relations in complete‐arch implant rehabilitation: A digital clinical report
This clinical report introduces a digital approach that utilizes milled verification jigs to acquire the jaw relations for the fabrication of monolithic zirconia implant-supported fixed complete dental prosthesis (IFCDP), in patients without a conversion implant prosthesis. The procedures employ photogrammetry for precise data acquisition, combined with image-based capture in 4 dimensions (ICAM4D), to design and mill verification jigs that accurately record the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) and centric relation (CR). This approach streamlines the clinical workflow by reducing the number of patient visits and associated costs while enhancing precision and predictability. It eliminates the need for conventional steps and analog definitive casts in the fabrication of IFCDP without a conversion implant prosthesis.
