A framework that misses passive fit by just 40 to 50 microns, roughly half the width of a human hair, can cause screw loosening, bone loss, and eventual failure. That is not a rounding error. That is the entire case.I get asked constantly why full-arch cases feel so much riskier than a single crown or
The digital full-arch landscape has changed dramatically over the past few years. Intraoral scanners have improved, digital workflows have matured, and clinicians now have more options than ever to capture implant positions and deliver full-arch restorations. At the same time, photogrammetry’s once-dominant position has been challenged by a growing number of horizontal scanbody workflows. Yet despite all
As digital dentistry continues to evolve, so too do the components we use in our restorative workflows. One area that has seen significant innovation is prosthetic screw design for full-arch implant restorations. Historically, many clinicians and labs relied on small, straight “pros-screws” that worked well enough for older workflows. However, with the rise of monolithic zirconia
Full-arch dental implant scanning accuracy has arguably been the single most important unsolved problem in digital implant dentistry for some time. Whether you call it All-on-X, All-on-4, or full-arch implant scanning, the challenge is the same.Over the past five years, the number of intraoral scanners, photogrammetry devices, and scanning systems that claim to solve it
The digital dentistry landscape continues to evolve rapidly, and 3Shape’s latest release represents an interesting strategic pivot. Rather than pursuing sweeping hardware improvements or releasing a cheaper scanner, the TRIOS 6 introduces something fundamentally different – a comprehensive AI diagnostic ecosystem built around its proven scanning technology. Additionally, we finally have an all-on-x software horizontal scan
I’ve just wrapped up work on a comprehensive white paper with Avant Dental (a large Lab in Australia) that addresses a crucial issue – why some All-on-X cases deliver life-changing results while others fail spectacularly, despite seemingly identical surgical execution.While working on this white paper we identified four phases of treatment where most complications originate. What
Full arch implant procedures have significantly increased in popularity of the past 10 years. Both among dentists and also patients who are looking for a non-removable treatment modality for the replacement of all their teeth.Regardless of whether you place implants or not, restoring full arch cases can be incredibly daunting due to the number of
