Patient is suffering from the continuous decimation of her crown on the central incisor. Remaining stump has subgingival margins and the typical appearance of having suffered continued leaks.
Dr. Nelson Silva
Single implant rehabilitation
This case describes an aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of an upper premolar. Dr. Nelson used the TRIOS® intraoral scanner and the Implant Studio® software for the implant planning and surgical guide design as well as Dental System™ for the making of the final prosthesis. Dr. Nelson says: “In the case presented here, the combination of TRIOS® and Implant Studio® with Dental System™ to manufacture the prosthesis has generated a predictability on the execution, from the correct positioning of the implant to the restoration placement.”
Dr. Nawakamon Suriyan
Implant restoration in the aesthetic zone
Male patient, 72 years old, with a 3 months prior extract from failed root canal treatment on supported bridge 13–22. Patient would like a fix prosthodontics for missing teeth.
Dr. Jaemin Lee
Immediate loading implant surgery
Patient is 32-year old male suffering from multiple loss of teeth due to severe dental caries. Exposed root rests were all unusable as abutment teeth and remaining teeth were erupted and not in their own occlusal position. The treatment plan was divided into five phases. Dr. Lee says that “with the advent of dental CAD/CAM technology like Implant Studio®, we can now anticipate the position of the implants before surgery. And with this, immediately loaded implant prosthesis are much more precise and easier to place."
Dr. Jaemin Lee
Full mouth rehabilitation
Dr. Lee has been chief dentist at the Jungplant Dental Office in Seoul since 2010. Many of Dr. Lee’s patients are elderly. This has provided Dr. Lee with extensive experience in working with full-mouth rehabilitation and partially edentulous cases. The treatment plan called for three phases. Each involved extensive surgery and restorative design. Dr. Lee says, “Implant Studio enables me to intuitively plan a surgery based on the prosthetic considerations. As this case illustrates, being able to virtually place and verify the implant position for the final prosthesis prior to surgery is extremely valuable.”
Dr. Philip Tan
Benefits of guided surgery
Dr. Tan presents three different types of cases. Each case uses 3Shape Implant Studio® and TRIOS® intraoral color scans for the implant planning and surgical guide design.
Patient 1 is an upper lateral incisor replacement;
Patient 2 is upper central incisor tooth replacement;
Patient 3 is a patient requesting the replacement of teeth 46 and 47.
Dr. Jaemin Lee
Restorative and orthodontic interdisciplinary treatment
Female patient aged 42. Patient wants to replace old PFM crowns on #12, #22 as they have poor margins as well as close the gap between teeth #11 and #21. Upon stabilizing patient’s periodontal tissue, orthodontic treatment using a clear aligner created with 3Shape OrthoAnalyzer would be applied to close gap, a single visit restoration would be used to replace PFM crowns after.
Dr. Jonathan L. Ferencz, D.D.S.
Full-coverage crown restorations
A male patient in his mid-60s presented with a chief complaint about the esthetics of his anterior maxillary and mandibular teeth (crowding, severe tetracycline staining). Proposed treatment involves placing milled monolithic lithium disilicate (IPS e.max CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent) full-coverage crown restorations on seven maxillary teeth (#6 through #12) and six mandibular teeth (#22 through #27). Workflow is completely digital.

Dr. Juha-Pekka Lyytikkä
Screw-retained bridge and crowns
The patient is a middle-aged man who had an old fibre-reinforced anterior bridge. The abutment teeth of the old bridge had severe caries and the structures of the bridge had also reached the end of their lifespan. The bridge was removed. Specialist Juha-Pekka Lyytikkä from the dental clinic Hammas-Pulssi extracted the hopeless teeth and placed three Xive 3.8 mm implants for the patient (areas of #14,12, 22). When the healing period was over, the construction of the final prosthesis was started.
