A digital workflow for full‐arch implant fixed prosthesis: Clinical application of a 3D‐printed polychromatic flangeless trial denture, anatomic bone reduction guide, and intraoral scanning for definitive prosthesis fabrication

This clinical report presents a comprehensive digital workflow for rehabilitating a patient with maxillary terminal dentition using a full-arch, implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis (FP-1). It highlights the integration of a 3D-printed polychromatic flangeless trial denture and a customized anatomic bone reduction template, enabling prosthetically driven implant planning and optimal bone architecture modification. The workflow incorporated fully guided implant surgery using sequential templates and immediate loading with a closed-mouth pickup system. Intraoral scanning protocols were employed for definitive prosthesis fabrication. This approach addressed high esthetic risks while achieving surgical precision, efficient treatment execution, and favorable clinical outcomes.

Abstract

This clinical report presents a comprehensive digital workflow for rehabilitating a patient with maxillary terminal dentition using a full-arch, implant-supported fixed dental prosthesis (FP-1). It highlights the integration of a 3D-printed polychromatic flangeless trial denture and a customized anatomic bone reduction template, enabling prosthetically driven implant planning and optimal bone architecture modification. The workflow incorporated fully guided implant surgery using sequential templates and immediate loading with a closed-mouth pickup system. Intraoral scanning protocols were employed for definitive prosthesis fabrication. This approach addressed high esthetic risks while achieving surgical precision, efficient treatment execution, and favorable clinical outcomes.
