Abstract

Abstract: Full-arch fixed implant-supported prostheses are recognized on effective method for occlusal rehabilitation of edentulous patients. Literatures reported that the survival rates of implant and prosthesis can reach 86.9%-99.4% and 82.8%-94.1% respectively after 20 years follow-up. In order to achieve occlusal rehabilitation for patients with full-arch fixed implant-supported prostheses, the principle of gnathology should be followed, so that the system composed of teeth, occlusion, masticatory muscles, temporomandibular joints, and nerves should be coordinated and stable. With the development and completion of digital equipment and technique, there are various digital alternatives for each procedure of implant-supported fixed restoration in edentulous patients. The involvement of digital technique conforms to the concept of precision therapy and improves the predictability of treatment. In addition, digital technique enables the visualization of treatment effects, which is beneficial for the communication between doctors and patients. This article will describe the treatment procedure of occlusal rehabilitation of full-arch fixed implant-supported prostheses, and introduce various digital equipments and techniques applied, hoping to provide reference and help for clinical doctors.

Key words: digital technique, full-arch fixed implant-supported prostheses, occlusal rehabilitation, facial scanning, intraoral scanning
