Maxillary complete-arch implant-supported restoration: A digital scanning and maxillomandibular relationship workflow.

Intraoral scanners are increasingly used as a replacement for conventional impressions, including the capturing of edentulous arches, although their use may be clinically challenging. This technique article describes the fabrication and use of a custom scanning device to scaffold an intraoral complete-arch scan of at least 6 implant scan bodies in the edentulous maxilla while simultaneously capturing the maxillomandibular relationship for the purpose of establishing a digital workflow to fabricate a maxillary complete-arch implant-supported prosthesis.
