Özet
When a fixed prosthetic restoration is desired to be made on multi-unit implants for patients with complete edentulism; the accuracy of the impression process is very important for the passive compatibility of the prosthesis, its aesthetic, its ability to completely fulfill its function and to maintain its structural integrity during applicatıon.Today, the measurements required for the production of full arch fixed prostheses superstructures of multi-unit implants applied for total edentulism rehabilitatıon can be obtained by traditional and digital methods.While traditional impression-taking methods are time-consuming, invasive, lead to complications and impression errors, intraoral scanners shorten treatment times and increase patient comfort with fast digital scanning.The easy storage and transmission of the digital data enables more effective communication between dentists, laboratories and other healthcare professionals.However, intraoral scanners have their advantages but also some uncertainties.In this review, models obtained with the traditional method and intraoral scanner used in the rehabilitation of multi-unit implantsupported full arch fixed prosthesis with complete edentulism are compared and their contributions to prosthetic success are presented.
