J Prosthodont. 2020 Jul;29(6):460-465. doi: 10.1111/jopr.13166. Epub 2020 Apr 9.

Abstract

The purpose of the present report is to illustrate a proof-of-concept protocol with the double digital scanning (DDS) technique for complete digital workflow in double full-arch implant rehabilitation. Two patients (4 restored arches) presented with hopeless dentitions and they were treated with a 4-appointment prosthodontic protocol and monolithic zirconia prostheses implementing a complete digital workflow. The outcomes are presented after clinical and radiographic observation for 2 years.
