Six-unit bridge using a digital workflow, despite patient limitations

Using IO scans and a full-face photo to capture the position of the maxilla, the lab creates a provisional and final bridge.

Treatment provider: Dr. Caroline Thomas
Solutions used: 3Shape TRIOS intraoral scanner, 3Shape Dental System software, 3Shape Communicate®
Dr. Thomas uses both analog and digital impressions to take full advantage of the digital workflow.
