Abstract

Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology automates the fabrication process of implant-supported prostheses. For the CAD/CAM fabrication of implant-supported crowns, virtual models must be generated by capturing of the intraoral situation with intraoral scanners or by digitizing stone casts with laboratory scanners. This article describes a novel method for creating virtual models with impression scanning technology. By using this workflow, an implant-supported crown is rapidly fabricated without intraoral scanning and cast scanning which needs additional time for fabricating stone casts.
