Abstract

The advent of digital workflows has revolutionized oral rehabilitation, offering excellent prosthesis and restoration adaptation while reducing work time. This case report aims to describe a full-arch rehabilitation protocol using mucosa-supported prostheses through a digital workflow. The technique begins with scanning the upper jaw and taking an impression of the lower jaw, followed by scanning to create a digital cast. Next, border molding and the final impression of both arches are performed using a closed-mouth technique, during which the patient is guided to perform lateral and protrusive movements. Subsequently, intraoral scanning of the occlusion and both impressions is conducted, leading to the design of the final dentures with the established occlusion. Finally, the dentures are printed in Formlabs resin specifically designed for dentures. The digital workflow facilitates the manufacturing of mucosa-supported full-arch prostheses effectively. This method allows for the adjustment of the vertical dimension of occlusion, ensures excellent adaptation of the prosthesis to the soft tissues, and provides aesthetic satisfaction for the patient. Additionally, it reduces the number of sessions required to install the definitive prosthesis.
