Digital Workflows in Prosthodontics and Implant Rehabilitation: From Design to Clinical Application

Dear Colleagues,

The integration of digital technologies into prosthodontics and implant rehabilitation has significantly transformed clinical workflows, improving precision, efficiency, and treatment outcomes. Advances in digital workflows now enable predictable treatment planning, minimally invasive approaches, and customized prosthetic design and fabrication.

This Special Issue presents original research, clinical case reports, and review articles addressing recent developments in fully and partially digital protocols for prosthodontic and implant rehabilitation. As digital technologies become integral to contemporary practice, this collection highlights evidence-based innovations in digital diagnostics, CAD/CAM systems, three-dimensional printing, virtual planning, guided implant surgery, and digital occlusion analysis.

The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight current trends, innovations, and clinical applications of digital workflows in prosthodontics and implant rehabilitation, with an emphasis on improving efficiency, accuracy, patient satisfaction, and treatment predictability.

Suggested themes include the following:

• Digital diagnostics and treatment planning
• CAD/CAM prosthesis design and fabrication
• 3D printing in prosthodontics
• Digital implant planning and guided surgery
• Digital occlusion and functional analysis
• Clinical applications and case reports, including full-arch rehabilitation and immediate loading

We look forward to receiving your scholarly contributions.
