B1. Implant-supported crown

[maxillary | mandible premolar + molar sites]

Complete digital workflow (model-free) [n = 10]

Monolithic LS2 (e.max CAD) + Ti-base abutment (Variobase Straumann)

IOS iTero (Aligntech) + lab-software (CARES Straumann)

Mixed analog-digital workflow (CAD/CAM-model) [n = 10]

ZrO2 coping + hand-layered ceramic veneering

IOS iTero (Aligntech) + lab-software (CARES Straumann)

Feasibility for both workflows without need for any remakes.

Total production time as the sum of laboratory plus clinical work steps was more than 2-fold faster for the complete digital workflow (75.3 min) compared to the mixed analog-digital workflow (156.6 min) (p < 0.05).

No reported follow-up time.

  1. IOS intraoral scan, LS2 lithium disilicate, ZrO2 zirconium dioxide
  2. Implant-supported crown: number of subjects, reconstructions and implant abutments, prosthodontic materials including the used workflows for clinical treatment and laboratory processing as well as clinically relevant results
