Purpose: To describe a digitally designed device for improving esthetic and occlusal planning for full-arch implant-supported rehabilitations.
Materials and methods: A step-by-step clinical and technical protocol is described to obtain an esthetic rim. Alternatives in terms of design and case requirements and the clinical use of the device are also described.
Results/conclusion: An integral approach based on esthetic and functional needs is mandatory in full-arch restorations. The proposed device can improve teamwork and communication, minimizing possible errors. Future proposals are needed to achieve a fully digital protocol in the fabrication of these rehabilitations.
