Intraoral Scans Alignment in Single Edentulous Arch Cases

Intraoral Scans Alignment in Single Edentulous Arch Cases:

Abstract

Using intraoral scans for removable denture fabrication requires their proper alignment according to maxillo‐mandibular relationships. The presented technique combines intraoral and extraoral scanning of the occlusion rim to obtain intraoral scans alignment and the transfer of all information for tooth arrangement to the digital workflow. The technique was developed for single edentulous arch cases and is particularly indicated for the edentulous mandible; nonetheless, it can be used also for the maxilla if a full‐size occlusion rim is required for optimal stability.
