Abstract
This technique report describes a fully digital workflow in which two surgical guides (i.e. one for alveolar bone reduction and the other for implant placement) are magnetically connected to ensure stability during full-arch implant surgery following guided bone reduction. Digital prosthesis design as well as virtual bone reduction and implant planning are developed from the superimposition of facial, intraoral and CBCT scans. With this technique, different surgical guides and interim poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) fixed prosthesis are precisely connected with magnets after being digitally designed and 3D-printed. As a result, such magnetic connection allows for satisfactory stability of the implant surgical guide, as well as of the interim fixed PMMA fixed prosthesis during capture of screw-retained abutments.
