Recommendations for successful virtual patient-assisted esthetic implant rehabilitation: A guide for optimal function and clinical efficiency

Li, Junying; Joda, Tim; Revilla-León, Marta; Saleh, Muhammad H A; Chen, Zhaozhao; Wang, Hom-Lay (2024). Recommendations for successful virtual patient-assisted esthetic implant rehabilitation: A guide for optimal function and clinical efficiency. Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, 36(1):186-196.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
Complete arch implant rehabilitation necessitates meticulous treatment planning and high-level collaboration between surgical and prosthetic dental teams. Emerging virtual technologies hold considerable promise in streamlining this process. The aim of this article is to extend recommendations to clinicians venturing into the virtual patient-assisted esthetic implant rehabilitation workflow.
OVERVIEW
This article summarizes recommendations for virtual patient-assisted esthetic implant rehabilitation in the following five aspects: three-dimensional data handling and superimposition, occlusion and virtual articulator integration in creating virtual patients, streamlined face- and prosthetic-driven surgical planning, reuse of presurgical data ("Copy & Paste"), and final impression for passive fitting of final restoration. To illustrate these principles, a case with complete-mouth implant rehabilitation completed within six visits using this virtual patient workflow is presented.
CONCLUSION
The virtual patient workflow serves as an invaluable tool to perform treatment planning, enhance efficiency, and ensure predictable outcomes in esthetic complete arch implant rehabilitation.
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Virtual workflows are increasingly prevalent in esthetic implant rehabilitation. Nevertheless, these workflows necessitate a distinct set of knowledge and tools divergent from conventional dentistry practices. This article offers guidelines and recommendations for dental clinicians who are new to this field.
