“…When a satisfactory result is obtained, the final prostheses should be copied of the temporary prostheses [17]. In a number of articles, to determine the emergence profile in fixed restoration, combined methods that include the use of temporary restoration and scanning are used [18][19][20]. It should be noted that the use of these methods is complicated in edentulous patient due to the difficulty of scanning the edentulous jaw and the absence of temporary restoration in overdentures.…”

Gingival mask is a copy of the peri-implant tissue, which plays an important role in the fabrication of an optimal restoration. Losing the gingival mask is a clinical problem that complicates the process of restoration fabrication. Herein, a simple precise technique is described step by step to solve this problem in the patient with CAD/CAM milled bar and ball attachment treatment plan for a maxillary and a mandibular implant-supported overdenture, without the need to repeat the entire clinical and laboratory procedures.

“…It was suggested that it took a learning curve to shape the emergence profile on screen (Edinger et al, 2023). A satisfactory emergence profile can be achieved by scanning the temporary crown, data registration can better replicate the gingival emergency profile into the final crown (Dhingra et al, 2020; Zimmermann et al, 2022).…”

ObjectiveTo compare efficiency and clinical efficacy of posterior single implant crowns (PSIC) fabricated using four digital workflows.Materials and MethodsTwenty‐two patients with one missing first molar were included. Each patient received four screw‐retained implant crowns fabricated through four different workflows including a fully digital workflow with immediate digital impression (Group i‐IOS), a fully digital workflow with digital impression after implant osseointegration (Group d‐IOS), a model‐based hybrid workflow using immediate analogue impression (Group i‐AI), and a model‐based hybrid workflow with conventional analogue impression after implant osseointegration (Group d‐AI). The crown delivery sequence was randomized and blinded. The efficiency for each workflow and clinical outcome of each crown were recorded.ResultsThe average clinical working time in fully digital workflows (i‐IOS 46.90 min, d‐IOS 45.66 min) was significantly lower than that in the hybrid workflows (i‐AI 54.59 min, d‐AI 55.96 min; p < .001). Significantly more laboratory time was spent in hybrid workflows (i‐AI 839.60 min, d‐AI 811.73 min) as compared to fully digital workflows (i‐IOS 606.25 min, d‐IOS 607.83 min, p < .01). No significant differences in the chairside time at delivery were found. More crowns in Group i‐AI (15%) needed additional laboratory interventions than in the other groups (p = .029).ConclusionDigital impression and model‐free fully digital workflow improved prosthetic efficiency in the fabrication of PSIC. With the limitation that the results were only applicable to the implant system used and the digital technologies applied, findings suggested that workflows integrating immediate impression with implant surgery procedure was clinically applicable for restoration of PSIC.
