Case Study: 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.
PREVIEW OF THE CASE
- Conventional impression converted to digital impression. In an unusual case, this patient prefers an analog impression, which is then TRIOS scanned and sent to the lab.
- Smile Design used for digital wax up. 3Shape Dental System and Smile Design app used to create a digital wax up.
- Digital design via 3Shape Communicate. Via 3Shape Communicate, Dr. Thomas edits and comments on prosthetic design with her lab, located thousands of miles away.
- Delivery of final prosthetic. Using facial image layering and a virtual articulator, the final zirconia bridge is tried in to verify fit, function, and esthetics.
