A Practical Approach to Full-Arch Implant Prosthesis Fabrication Utilizing 3D-Printed Surgical Guide Index.

Abstract

This paper presents an efficient method for fabricating a full-arch implant prosthesis within one day, using a verification index through a three-dimensional (3D)-printed surgical guide. The technique involves the use of simple impression coping and laboratory analogs to ensure accurate prosthesis placement. Directly using 3D-printed surgical guides as a verification index simplifies and streamlines the procedure, offering a significant clinical advantage. This approach provides a clinically relevant advancement in prosthodontic practices by demonstrating a practical and instructive approach to enhance treatment outcomes.
