ABSTRACT
This article describes a technique for obtaining an accurate complete-arch digital scan for an edentulous patient. To achieve this, an auxiliary polymeric device that simulates a denture is designed, fabricated, and placed in the mouth. This device, having the geometry of a typical dental arch, facilitates the digitalization of the edentulous complete arch. This is because the change in radius of the curvature (change of geometry) enables the scanner to perform a more accurate alignment. Initially, the necessary location of the implants is acquired, and then the soft tissue is added. This technique can achieve accurate complete-arch digital scans. Distances between implants are closer to the gold standard when using this auxiliary geometry piece than those obtained without using it.
