“…Currently, there are no recognized protocols to refer to for the completely digital management of immediate post-extraction rehabilitations of the entire arch, where the surgical component is guided using multiple templates and the prosthetic component is created and produced even before the operation is performed. An objective comparison at each stage of this clinical case with others present in the literature is challenging due to the absence of validated protocols, thus the achievement of comparable therapeutic goals involves following different paths in the design and use of digital tools [37,38]. This study highlights the need for further scientific investigation and development to bridge this gap and provide clear guidelines for clinical practice in similar contexts.…”

The digital transformation has revolutionized various sectors, including dentistry. Dentistry has emerged as a pioneer in embracing digital technologies, leading to advancements in surgical and prosthetic oral healthcare. Immediate loading for full-arch edentulous dental implants, once debated, is now widely accepted. This case report describes a 74-year-old patient with dental mobility and significant bone loss who was rehabilitated using a Toronto Bridge protocol on four dental implants with immediate loading. Digital planning, surgical guides, 3D printing, and precision techniques were employed. The surgery involved implant placement and prosthetic procedures. The patient reported minimal post-operative discomfort, and after four months, the definitive prosthesis was successfully placed. This case demonstrates the efficacy of immediate loading in complex dental scenarios with digital innovation, resulting in improved patient outcomes. The full digital workflow, including 3D printing and the use of modern materials, enhances the efficiency and predictability of oral rehabilitation, marking a transformative era in dental care. The integration of digital technology in all phases of treatment, from diagnosis to finalization, makes this approach safer, reliable, and efficient, thereby benefiting both patients and clinicians.

“…3D printing can have endless possibilities from the 3D printing of medicines (topical, oral, and parenteral dosage forms) to tissue engineering and microfluidic organ-on-chips ( Figure 1 ). 3D-printed dosage forms, such as tablets or capsules, are of increased interest, considering the licensing of the first 3D-printed product (Spritam©), while the development of personalized implants adapted to the dimensions of the cavity or tissue of interest for each patient is also very popular [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Implants are typically prepared from 3D-printed hydrogels that exhibit high water content within their structure while they remain biocompatible and biodegradable, while prostheses are produced with metal printers according to computerized images obtained with imaging techniques, such as MRI or axial tomography.…”

3D printing technologies enable medicine customization adapted to patients’ needs. There are several 3D printing techniques available, but majority of dosage forms and medical devices are printed using nozzle-based extrusion, laser-writing systems, and powder binder jetting. 3D printing has been demonstrated for a broad range of applications in development and targeting solid, semi-solid, and locally applied or implanted medicines. 3D-printed solid dosage forms allow the combination of one or more drugs within the same solid dosage form to improve patient compliance, facilitate deglutition, tailor the release profile, or fabricate new medicines for which no dosage form is available. Sustained-release 3D-printed implants, stents, and medical devices have been used mainly for joint replacement therapies, medical prostheses, and cardiovascular applications. Locally applied medicines, such as wound dressing, microneedles, and medicated contact lenses, have also been manufactured using 3D printing techniques. The challenge is to select the 3D printing technique most suitable for each application and the type of pharmaceutical ink that should be developed that possesses the required physicochemical and biological performance. The integration of biopharmaceuticals and nanotechnology-based drugs along with 3D printing (“nanoprinting”) brings printed personalized nanomedicines within the most innovative perspectives for the coming years. Continuous manufacturing through the use of 3D-printed microfluidic chips facilitates their translation into clinical practice.
