Benefit of the Digital Workflow for Screw-retained Single Implant Restorations

Benefit of the Digital Workflow for Screw-retained Single Implant Restorations

The aim of this research project is emphasize the benefit of the digital workflow compared to conventional impressions and crown processing with standard la procedures. The objectives of the present study are to measure and compare the global cost, the time spent in the dental chair and in the lab and the fit of both digital and conventional workflow. Additionally, patient centered outcomes will be recorded.
