Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the impact of a full arch implant-supported prostheses in the lip support. In a complex rehabilitation cases, the process between the diagnosis and the delivery of a prostheses may lead with many clinical and laboratorial choices which influence the final design of the prosthetic work and consequently the facial profile of the patient.

The use of 3D facial scanners and advanced superimposition methodology allows the investigators to objectively measure several relevant parameters such as vertical occlusion of dimension and lip support.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Digital technologies have evolved exponentially in the dental medicine field endorsing a change between the conventional methods to virtually based methodologies in daily clinical and laboratorial practice.

Combining facial aspects and proportions with dento-gingival parameters are the basis when planning a new smile design and a final rehabilitationFacial surface images can be used for more predictable measurement and quantification of vertical dimension of occlusion and lip support before, during and after a full mouth rehabilitation. Besides that, the information obtained by facial scanners have a major impact in treatment planning process especially in multidisciplinary complex cases with the simulation of the treatment, identification of patient's expectations and the implementation of an effective communication tool.

The 4D-virtual patient is the future regarding the management of a patient in dental medicine, since the beginning of the process with data acquisition for the diagnosis to the definitive oral rehabilitation procedures. Similar to any methodology, it is important to understand what are the basis of the facial scanning and what protocols can obtain better results in terms of accuracy and reliability.
