The digitalization of implant dentistry has transformed how clinicians approach full-arch rehabilitation, offering new standards of precision, efficiency, and patient-centered care. This presentation explores how the integration of photogrammetry and digital jaw-motion analysis creates a seamless and highly accurate workflow for complex implant cases. By leveraging the Shining 3D Elite intraoral scanner and MetiSmile facial scanner, a complete digital ecosystem can be established, linking intraoral, facial, and functional data into a unified design process. This presentation aims to share clinical workflows and case examples that demonstrate how this technology enhances accuracy, communication, and esthetics while significantly reducing chairside adjustments and overall treatment time. Additionally, it highlights a paradigm shift in implant dentistry, moving from conventional analog techniques to a fully digital approach that elevates both clinical predictability and patient satisfaction in full-arch rehabilitations.
