3. | Joda & Bragger (2016) | n = 20 | n = 20 [10 | 10] | n = 20 | 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. |
