A fully digital workflow for generating a virtual patient for completely edentulous computer-aided implant surgery is described. Existing dentures are temporarily relined with a radiopaque dental silicone material, and a cone beam computed tomography scan is made with the relined denture inserted. Then, scans of the relined denture are made with an intraoral scanner. The radiopaque silicone material increases the stability of the dentures and allows the a cone beam computed tomography images and the scans of the dentures to be superimposed to create a virtual patient. This technique may reduce laboratory work steps, clinical chairside time, and treatment costs.

描述了用于生成虚拟患者以进行完全无牙的计算机辅助植入物手术的全数字工作流程。现有的假牙用不透射线的牙科用硅树脂材料暂时重新衬砌，并在插入重新排列的假牙后进行锥形束计算机断层扫描。然后，用口内扫描仪扫描内衬义齿。不透射线的硅树脂材料增加了义齿的稳定性，并允许将锥形束计算机断层扫描图像和义齿扫描叠加在一起以创建虚拟患者。该技术可以减少实验室工作步骤，减少临床工作时间并减少治疗费用。
