From Scan to Skill: Intraoral Photogrammetry (IPG), Jaw Motion, and 3D Printing

💎Digital Full-Arch Excellence: A Case Study Using Panthera Fusion Bar and the Shining 3D Elite

Navigating the “Dental Jungle” of constant innovation can be overwhelming. But with tools like intraoral photogrammetry (IPG), clinicians can embrace precision and predictability in complex implant cases.

Case Highlights:

🔹73-year-old patient treated with an implant-supported fixed solution

🔹Accurate IPG scans captured with SHINING 3D’s Aoralscan Elite

🔹Full-digital workflow from pre-op to final delivery

🔹Seamless lab integration with Panthera Fusion Bar (PFB) technology

🔹Two prototypes were printed to evaluate tissue compression, fit, and aesthetics

🔹Titanium-supported zirconia overlay design ensures strength & aesthetics

🔹Final STL overlay milled by Panthera for optimal precision

Why IPG Makes a Difference:

🔹 Encoded scanbodies as global reference points

🔹Fewer scan angles, faster workflow, fewer stitching errors

🔹 Higher accuracy in full-arch edentulous cases

From immediate same-day conversion to 6-month follow-up and digital finalization, this case demonstrates how photogrammetry and advanced design tools collaborate to restore function, aesthetics, and confidence.

💎Jaw motion function in MetiSmile-MR and IPG in the Elite: an All-on-X Immediate Loading Case Study

In the latest clinical case shared by Dr. Yan Wenren, the combined power of Aoralscan Elite with IPG and MetiSmile-MR, featuring jaw motion function, was put to the test in a complex All-on-X immediate loading case.

🦷 The patient, a long-time denture user, sought a more stable and functional solution. The challenges?

🔹 Accurately capturing implant positions immediately after surgery

🔹 Determining a new, reliable jaw relationship amidst post-op changes

Using the IPG workflow of Aoralscan Elite, Dr. Wenren precisely scanned the implant positions, even in the presence of unstable soft tissue. Meanwhile, MetiSmile-MR’s optimal jaw relation feature enabled him to capture mandibular motion and define the correct vertical and horizontal occlusal relationships – all without relying on pre-op data.

💡 The result? A same-day temporary restoration with excellent fit, reduced chairside adjustments, and a smoother recovery journey for the patient.

This case highlights how our digital tools are reshaping clinical workflows, improving accuracy, predictability, and efficiency in full-arch rehabilitation.

💎Gingival Contouring and Smile Makeover Through Digital Planning and 3D Guidance

In a recent case published by The Journal of Clinical Medical Research, a 28-year-old patient underwent a complete smile transformation, all planned and executed through a fully digital workflow.

Highlights:

🔹AI-based smile design using SmileFy & SmileCloud

🔹3D planning with Exocad & CoDiagnostiX

🔹Laser-assisted gingivectomy with a 3D-printed guide

🔹Same-day provisional restorations with milled PMMA

This approach delivered a predictable, aesthetic, and minimally invasive outcome, showcasing how digital dentistry is redefining clinical precision and patient satisfaction.
