Current Trends and Prospective of Digital Occlusion and Implant Prosthodontics: A Review

Abstract

Abstract

Contemporary implant rehabilitations are esthetically driven. Consequently, digital planning and guided surgery deliver higher esthetic predictability and precision than do analog procedures. The aim of this article is to show the integration of digital occlusion in the different phases of full arch implant rehabilitation with immediate implant placement and immediate loading procedures. Digital occlusal analysis raises the precision of functional occlusal adjustments, while improving the long-term predictability and stability of both case function and esthetics. This chapter will present a systematic digital workflow detailing every stage of full arch rehabilitation treatment, while showcasing digital occlusal diagnosis with the T-Scan 9 system, to install a precise implant prosthesis occlusal scheme. A full arch rehabilitation case involving immediate implant placement and immediate implant loading will be presented, with it occlusally finished with the T-Scan.
