Hi I have an implant bridge case to restore. Pt is in his 80s. I have just been restoring single units before this and would love some help/advice about how to proceed. The initial idea was just to scan, which I’m comfortable doing. But I have learned that the scanner may not be so accurate for larger cases like this. I will order a special tray first of all.
Some questions that come to mind
1) do people scan cases like this with good success
2) how would u take a bite registration on the right hand side
3) what happens if the pt can’t open up wide enough for open tray technique
4) after impression or scanning do u go straight to issue or is there a step worth taking in between

@bishaya thanks. If I were to scan, would u recommend splinting the scan bodies. Not sure about the exact restorative space but we have done a wax up for the surgical guide and it’s not deficient. Although I should start measuring it from now on. I was just going to go titanium base then zirconia. Is that what u would do?

Traditional impressions for the lab to scan if needed and bite with wax rim. I find that to be most predictable.
