Passive Fit

This randomized crossover clinical trial compares the passivity of fit of complete-arch mandibular implant-supported frameworks fabricated using three impression techniques: a non-calibrated splinted digital scan body system (IO-Connect), a Reverse Scan Body (RSB) digital impression technique, and a conventional splinted open-tray impression technique. Eight completely edentulous patients each receiving four mandibular implants will be included. Passivity of fit will be evaluated clinically using the Sheffield one-screw test and radiographically using intraoral periapical radiographs obtained with the parallel technique.
