In recent decades, the integration of digital devices into dental practice has become increasingly prevalent. The advent of CAD/CAM technology has enabled the creation of implant-supported restorations through a streamlined digital workflow. Digital impressions serve to convert the intra-oral conditions into a virtual model, marking the initial phase of this digital process. The precision of this step is critical, as it directly influences the success of the overall treatment by ensuring the accurate transfer of the implant's position. Inadequate execution of this procedure can result in a misalignment of the final prosthesis, potentially leading to both mechanical and biological complications over time. Furthermore, digital impressions facilitate a more efficient data collection process, mitigating many of the limitations associated with traditional impression techniques. This advancement not only enhances patient comfort but also increases the reliability of prosthesis design and manufacturing processes. |
