Digital techniques in implant surgery and prosthetics. From chair-side to the DIGIT-Skyn concept technique

Any discussion of digital dentistry nowadays means talking about an ecosystem that is set to replace the traditional way of working in every area: production processes, time management, relationships with other professionals. The aim of this text is to lead the clinician into this new world, starting with the description of "chair-side" procedures – which allow surgical guides and fixed prosthesis to be produced "at the chair-side" – up to the treatment of complex cases.
By comparing traditional techniques to innovative digital ones, the text provides an and easy-tofollow and replicate guide to fixed immediate-load prosthetics for everyday dentistry.

The DIGIT (DENTAL IMPLANT GUIDED IMMEDIATE THERAPY) implant prosthetic technique developed by the Authors is also highlighted. DIGIT offers a solution which maintains the reference points normally lost in the transition from the surgical template to the positioning of the provisional or definitive prosthesis, increasing accuracy to reduce the risk of prosthetic complications in immediate load protocols.

The book also outlines the Skyn Concept which provides the highest quality results in terms of both esthetics and function by copying natural morphology using selected libraries and using CAD/CAM technology.
