In this clinical report, in addition to presenting the case, treatment plan and restorative considerations, a summary of workflow is presented with a deeper look into problems encountered scanning multiple implants with a large edentulous space between them. A comparison is made between conventional impression accuracy and scanned/printed model accuracy. Additionally, a splinted scan body method for large edentulous spans is proposed with data comparing it to both a conventional impression and scanning without splinting the scan bodies.
