Abstract
The success of fixed restoration depends upon the accurate impression. Newer techniques including digital
impressions and digital scanners have emerged as a result of the problems of traditional impressions, such as
choking and foul taste. Digital imprinting and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing
technologies has many advantages over traditional methods. Using CAD/CAM systems, intraoral scanner
technology makes exact three-dimensional photographs of dental structures, which helps in prosthesis design
and fabrication.An implant-supported prosthesis uses digital impressions combined with CBCT data to
design custom abutments and prosthesis.
