Accuracy of Conventional and Digital Impression Techniques Used for Maxillary Hybrid Prosthesis
Prosthesis Durability
About this trial
This is an interventional other trial for Prosthesis Durability focused on measuring digital impression, conventional impression
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
The patients were selected according to the following inclusion criteria:
- Completely edentulous maxillary and mandibular ridges
- Healthy ridge covered by normal oral mucosa and free from any ridge flabbiness.
- All of the patients were dissatisfied with the retention and stability of their maxillary conventional dentures and expressed a strong desire for a more stable prosthesis.
- Sufficient bone quantity and quality in the front and posterior maxillary regions, as determined by preoperative CBCT, to accommodate six implants with a diameter of at least 3.5 mm and a length of at least 10 mm.
- Enough restorative space (from the mucosa covering the crest of the maxillary residual ridge to the occlusal plane) to allow the fixed prosthesis to be constructed ,preliminary jaw relationship revealed this.
It's been at least a year since the last extraction.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Systemic diseases that may alter tissue response to implantation and affects osseointegration (radiation, diabetes, osteoporosis, bleeding disorders or hepatic patients)
- Long term immunosuppressive and corticosteroid drug therapy.
- Patient with abnormal habits as clenching and bruxism.
- Smoking patients.
- Patients with problems in TMJ.
- Neuromuscular diseases.

technique 1: conventional splinted open tray impression
technique 2: digital intraoral impression technique
a conventional open tray impression technique splinted with ligature wire and duralay resin was done with polyvinyl siloxane impression . analogues were screwed to the impression copings and casts were poured.
scan bodies were screwed to implants intraorally and digital scanner was used to record digital impression, scanning protocol started from occlusal ,buccal to palatal surfaces. The resulting scans were then exported in the standard tessellation format (.STL)
