Screw retained implant crown restoration with digital workflow using scan body and surgical guide
The case describes the full digital workflow used in the prosthodontic restoration of a lower right first premolar with a screw-retained implant supported crown.
Dr. Mak states that the simplification of clinical protocols, increased accuracy over conventional analogue techniques, and improved patient comfort and outcomes are compelling reasons for a full digital workflow.
