Abstract

A complete-arch implant-supported interim prosthesis was fabricated from a cone beam computed tomography digital scan of the implant abutments for a patient with primordial dwarfism. The patient presented with limited mouth opening, which hindered the use of a conventional impression technique. The described technique provided an alternative digital procedure to obtain a virtual implant definitive cast.
