Patient with Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) of his right premaxilla and nasal cavity in need of a removable partial denture obturator. This case exhibits the advantages of intraoral scanning in the hemimaxillectomy patient group.

Benefits of a digital workflow according to Dr. Michelinakis

The patient, who had undergone radiotherapy and chemotherapy, did not experience any discomfort or pain associated with a conventional impression technique.

The TRIOS scanner scanned both teeth and soft tissue (a resected maxilla) with high accuracy and precision.

The use of the TRIOS scanner also included the need for fewer impression appointments (one appointment) in contrast to the 2 or 3 appointments needed for conventional impressions for maxillectomy patients.

Communication and treatment planning and execution of the plan with the lab technician was favored tremendously by the digital impression procedure.
