Cover Story: Dental implants are becoming increasingly essential for managing both partial and complete tooth loss, offering significant functional and aesthetic improvements over traditional restorations. The success of these implants relies heavily on the precision of each clinical step within a coordinated workflow. The traditional methods involve creating a physical model from a detailed impression, whereas the digital approaches begin with an intraoral scan (IOS), enabling direct digital processing. This shift not only enhances the patients’ comfort, but also minimizes potential errors by eliminating manual interventions. This study focuses on optimizing the digital workflow using Exocad CAD software, specifically examining the impact of scanbody geometry on the accuracy of digital implant positioning. View this paper
