Fully Digital Workflow for an Implant Retained Overdenture by Digital Smile Project to Guided Surgery and Prosthetic Rehabilitation

The development of digital technologies in dentistry has changed the therapeutic approach in edentulous patients both in the preliminary stages of clinical case studies and when supporting the actual surgical and manufacture phases. The goals of the digital workflow are to reduce the number of patient appointments and to improve the predictability of treatment outcome. A thorough description of a complex clinical case analyzes how these new digital technologies are used in every step of the surgical and prosthetic therapy to perform the reconstruction of a bar retained overdenture.
