Digital Workflow to Merge an Intraoral Scan and CBCT of Edentulous Maxilla: A Technical Report
Abstract
Rehabilitation of edentulous maxilla is a challenging procedure. This technical report describes a new method to superimpose intraoral optical scanning of edentulous maxilla and the CBCT scan using a modified radiographic template. Digital data obtained can be exported and merged into 3D computer guided surgery software. The described technique can increase the predictability and the precision of complete-arch rehabilitation planned by means of computer-assisted implant surgery.
Keywords: Computer-assisted surgery; dental implant, full-arch; digital impression; edentulous maxilla; intraoral scanner.
