Digital Dentistry - Simplify complex restorative treatments with digital workflow for implants

Simplifying the complex with iTero™ intraoral scanners.

With an iTero intraoral scanner, you can capture patient data faster1 and more comfortably2, enhance patient understanding3 and treatment acceptance4, and send scans in seconds5 to coordinate seamlessly with labs through iTero’s open system.

The iTero digital workflow for full arch rehabilitation with implants.*

THE INITIAL CONSULTATION

Efficiently capture digital imagery with the iTero™ intraoral scanner and build trust with your patient.

  1. Create an iRecord prescription to scan the initial failing dentition, opposing jaw, and occlusion.
  2. Collect scans, CBCT, X-rays, photographs, and videos for proper case analysis and diagnosis
  3. Send your prescription and scans to your lab with iTero’s seamless chairside and lab software connectivity.

THE SECOND APPOINTMENT

Use your lab’s digital guides for a successful surgery.

  1. Place implants in the optimal position using the surgical guide.
  2. After surgery, finalize provisional restoration for loading.
  3. Advise your patient on post-op instructions.
  4. Prepare for the third appointment in three months.

THE THIRD APPOINTMENT

Quickly scan your patient and the provisional restoration with the iTero™ dental scanner to create a restorative prescription.

  1. Check for successful osseointegration & healthy soft tissues.
  2. Create restorative prescription and proceed with the following scanning protocol: Scan treatment arch with provisional in place, scan opposing jaw, scan bite, remove the provisional and screw the scan bodies, scan the scan bodies and capture an HD scan of each scan body, scan the provisional restoration outside the mouth.
  3. Submit your prescription to your lab for the creation of a PMMA prototype try-in and metal bar.

THE FOURTH APPOINTMENT

Have your patient test the try-in before arranging for the final restoration to be made.

  1. Your patient should test the try-in for proper occlusion, comfort, and appearance.
  2. Advise the lab on prototype modifications or give your lab approval for creation of the final restoration.
  3. Confirm passive fit of the metal bar on the implants.

THE FIFTH APPOINTMENT

Final check for restoration and delivery.

  1. Check for a proper fit of the final restoration.
  2. Screw the restoration onto the implants.
