Abstract

A method is described for the verification and correction of a digital scan of a complete-arch implant-supported prosthesis for a completely edentulous patient. The technique provides an efficient way to integrate a highly accurate and precise scan of an implant index cast with a digital intraoral implant scan by using a computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) software program. This method allows dental professionals to validate and, if necessary, correct the implant positions in the scan without the need for a conventional impression.
