“…In addition, the verification jig serves as a verification of the accuracy of the master cast. Other options for bite registration involve the use of a duplicated denture with acrylic resin as a custom impression tray, or even a duplicated denture with impression material [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. Nevertheless, bite registration materials and methods should be selected carefully for implant-supported fixed prostheses [ 18 ].…”

Objective: Information about full-digital protocols for bite registration with intraoral scanners on multiple implants in the edentulous jaw is scarce. The purpose of this comparative in vivo study was to investigate the reliability and time efficiency of a novel full-digital bite registration technique for the manufacture of full-arch maxillary fixed implant prostheses. Material and methods: In ten patients, a full-arch maxillary fixed implant prosthesis was manufactured on multi-unit abutment level through an analog prosthetic workflow. The bite registration was performed with use of a screw-retained polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) verification jig with detachable wax rim. To articulate the definitive edentulous maxillary implant cast in centric relation at the appropriate occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) to the mandibular antagonist cast, a type II articulator (Artex, Amann Girrbach) was used. Three to six months later, a full-digital bite registration was performed with use of dual-function scan bodies and bilateral connected bite pillars. The bite pillars screwed into the scan bodies were used to adjust and articulate the edentulous maxillary implant arch to the mandibular antagonist arch at the defined OVD. Treatment time for analog and digital bite registration technique was measured in each patient. The reliability of the digital bite registration technique was evaluated by 3D comparison of two sets of stereo lithographic (STL) files obtained from each patient. The three-dimensional deviation was defined along the X-, Y- and Z-axes (Geomagic Control X, 3D Systems Inc., Rock Hill, SC, USA). Results: The treatment time for digital bite registration using dual-function scan bodies and bite pillars was significantly shorter than analog bite registration with verification jig and wax rim (60.30%, SD 5.72%). Minor differences between the two techniques were observed with a linear deviation range of 1115 µm (SD 668 µm) overall, 46.2 µm (SD 731.3 µm) along the X-axis, −200.3 µm (SD 744.3 µm) along the Y-axis and 67.1 µm (SD 752.2 µm) along the Z-axis. Bilateral balanced contacts were registered in all patients during full-digital bite registration. Conclusions: The novel digital bite registration technique with dual-function scan bodies and bite pillars allows for a full-digital workflow for full-arch implant supported restorations. The digital bite workflow was 60% faster, and the overall deviation was around 1 mm, which can be considered clinically acceptable.

“…Existing denture of the patient may be used to analyze the esthetic parameters and potential limitations [59]. Also, a method of converting an interim maxillary removable complete denture to an interim implant-supported fixed complete denture was described [70]. The advantages of this method were reported as to provide the opportunity to evaluate the patient's function and esthetics, and to help the accurate transfer of the maxillo-mandibular relationship to the laboratory [70].…”

The advantages of this method were reported as to provide the opportunity to evaluate the patient's function and esthetics, and to help the accurate transfer of the maxillo-mandibular relationship to the laboratory [70]. An easy and timesaving procedure to fabricate a complete-arch, implant-supported, cement-retained, fixed provisional restoration indirectly from the radiographic guide was described [71].…”

“…Location and position of the remaining teeth, provisional prostheses, previous dentures, and stereolitographic templates were described and advised to guide the planning of the final prosthesis [32,53,[57][58][59]61,[67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74]. Mock-up and wax-up applications were also reported as useful instruments in the planning of the definitive full-mouth implantsupported prosthesis [75][76][77][78][79][80][81].…”

Objectives: Planning of the treatment steps and designing of the implant-supported fixed final prosthesis are primarily important to respond the esthetic and functional requirements of the fully edentulous patient. Clinical considerations: Pre-operative planning of the treatment steps and the surgical and prosthetic applications provide the post-operative satisfaction. Conclusions: Mock-up provides a simple, quick, improvable and an inexpensive solution in the planning of the implant-supported full-mouth restorations and guarantees the successful results. Clinical implications: Mock-up driven planning was found simple, quick, improvable, inexpensive and successful in prosthetic treatment of a fully edentulous case with the implant-supported, full-mouth, metal-ceramic, fixed prostheses.
