A digital technique for transferring the maxillomandibular relationship for complete arch implant rehabilitation in edentulous jaws

A digital technique for transferring the maxillomandibular relationship using photogrammetry, an intraoral scanner, and a computer-aided design software program is described in a treatment involving immediate loading in a patient with mandibular edentulism. The edentulous mandible was located preoperatively in a centric occlusal relationship with a denture, and preoperative and postoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) data were aligned and merged based on bone markers. This technique, which allows the transfer of the presurgical maxillomandibular relationship during the immediate loading procedure, is more objective, more straightforward, and faster than the conventional method.
