Article Abstract
Purpose: To introduce a digitally assisted technique to achieve the ideal soft and bone tissue interface for anatomic-driven pink free implant supported fixed prosthesis, and prefabricate an interim prosthesis to be used the day of the surgery as a prosthetic scaffold to condition the healing.
Methods: The digital assisted soft tissue sculpturing (DASS) technique allows the previsualization of the ideal soft and bone tissue interface and fabricate a computer aided design computer aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) anatomic-driven pink free complete arch interim prosthesis for the immediate loading. Bone and soft tissue interface as well as the interim prosthesis design are performed in a segmented multiple standard tessellation language (STL) file embedding the bone anatomy, the intraoral surface anatomy (dental and soft tissue), the digital wax-up and the implant positioning. The interim prosthesis is used as a prosthetic scaffold to guide the soft and bone tissue surgical sculpturing and regeneration.
Conclusions: The DASS technique is a predictable integrated digital workflow that simplifies the achievement of a scalloped tissue interface for pink free fixed implant prosthesis, reestablishing the mucosal dimension required for the protection of underlying bone while maintaining tissue health. The surgical sculpturing and maturation of the soft and bone tissue is driven and enhanced by the xenogeneic collagen matrix grafting and prosthetic scaffold effect of the digitally prefabricated interim prosthesis delivered the day of the surgery.

A simplified digital workflow is described for a complete arch implant-supported prosthesis with the restoration of the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) using a 3-dimensionally printed interim prosthesis and an esthetic jaw incisor guide. After VDO definition and intraoral scanning, a screw-retained interim prosthesis was printed, clinically tested, and used to guide the fabrication of the definitive prosthesis. The approach showed predictable esthetic and functional results, though caution is needed in patients with parafunctional habits because of the limited strength of printed resins.

Statement Of Problem: Immediate implant and interim restoration placement in the maxillary anterior esthetic zone presents challenges in achieving optimal implant positioning, esthetics, and peri-implant tissue stability. A more accurate and efficient clinical workflow is needed to address these demands.
Purpose: This study aimed to establish a fully digital workflow that combines autonomous robotic-assisted immediate implant placement and prefabricated interim restorations in the maxillary anterior esthetic region and to evaluate its accuracy and short-term clinical outcomes.

Purpose: To investigate the ability of the smart denture conversion (SDC) technique to produce a stronger interim full-arch implant restoration.
Materials And Methods: Three materials (OnX Tough 3D-printed resin, milled PMMA, and injection molded PMMA) were used to fabricate 180 specimens, 60 specimens per material. Then, an equal number of specimens were assigned a conversion technique: either traditional denture conversion or smart denture conversion.
Simultaneous Implant Placement and Delivery of a Definitive Fixed Prosthesis: A Novel Protocol.
Int J Prosthodont
August 2025
This case report describes a novel technique enabling the simultaneous placement of dental implants and delivery of a definitive fixed implant-supported prosthesis in a single treatment encounter. This protocol employs a precise CAIS approach that eliminates the need for an interim prosthesis and minimizes the number of clinical visits, offering notable patient-centered benefits and reducing environmental impact. Careful patient selection and clinician expertise are essential, as the risk of implant non-integration remains a critical consideration.

The present technique describes a computer-guided workflow for the immediate implant placement and interim restoration of a previously manufactured screw-retained interim implant-supported crown. As the implant position determined in the computer-aided implant planning was used to fabricate the interim implant-supported crown, the surgical implant guide incorporated a guide to orient the implant, enabling the orientation and fit of the interim crown. This technique aimed to optimize clinical time, enhance predictability, minimize intraoperative adjustments, and improve patient experience.
