Reabilitação Maxilar com Uso do Fluxo Digital

Abstract

The digital workflow in dentistry has evolved a lot in recent years. The combined use of Cone-Beam tomography, extra and intraoral photographs and intraoral scanners, associated with prosthetic and surgical software has generated more accurate planning, surgical and prosthetic guides of excellent quality with faster installation of final rehabilitation. The aim of this paper is to report the treatment of an oral full upper arch rehabilitation with a hybrid implant-supported prosthesis, in which digital workflow was used in all stages of prosthetic and surgical planning. Digital equipment such as Cone Beam tomography, digital photos, intraoral scanner, surgical and prosthetic planning software made it possible to work in a completely virtual environment, allowing safer planning and execution of each stage of treatment before the procedure on the patient. The hybrid implant-supported prosthesis was manufactured using analog workflow, but collected all the information from the digital workflow, which allowed installation within a few postoperative hours and reproduced correct function and occlusion, and the most natural tooth shape possible. Based on the experience collected in conducting this case, it seems reasonable to conclude that new digital techniques allowed better positioning of implants associated with better diagnosis of the space required for the prosthesis. Furthermore, they allow the reduction in surgical time, which can be very important for patients with compromised health. Cases with dental references allow information to be easily passed on to the laboratory, which reduces the number of consultations, without loss of quality. This results in a good experience for both the professional and the patient.
