Integration of Facial Scanning Technology for Full‐Arch Implant Rehabilitation and Fabrication of Magnet‐Based Surgical Guide and Provisional Prosthesis: A Case Report

Introduction and Objectives: Digital dentistry applications have been widely used in different aspects of prosthodontics. Multiple studies in the literature report the application of different technologies. The aim of this study was to focus on the combination of facial scanning, intraoral scanning, and cone-beam radiographs for optimal implant planning and prosthodontic rehabilitation. Methods: Complex prosthodontic treatment of maxillary and mandibular implant rehabilitation utilizing the application of a novel technique of digital technology was explored. In this case report, facial scan, intraoral scan (IOS), and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were merged for the virtual planning of implant placement. Results: A stackable magnet-based surgical guide was fabricated and utilized for implant placement. Furthermore, a provisional implant-supported prosthesis was prefabricated for immediate loading and chairside pickup. Conclusion: As the field continues to evolve, new technological advances offer more precise, predictable, and efficient implant rehabilitation. Clinical Significance: This technique is poised to become a component in the practice of advanced prosthodontics, adding to the landscape of dental implantology with its precision, predictability, and patient-centered focus.
