Abstract

In clinical practice, patients often exhibit extensive dental wear and fractures due to deleterious habits such as bruxism, clenching, and suboptimal oral hygiene. These cases may necessitate comprehensive full-mouth restorations that typically involve numerous dental visits, which can potentially lead to patient fatigue, delayed recovery, and uncertain treatment outcomes. The present study reports an innovative approach in which provisional restorations are digitally designed and fabricated on the same day as tooth preparation. The morphology of the provisional restorations that the patient adapted to is then replicated onto the final restorations with dual-scanning technique. The study aims to simplify treatment progress and achieve higher predictability of the final restorations, highlighting the advantages of dual-scanning techniques in simplifying and expediting the treatment process.
