Abstract

Fixed prosthodontics has seen a rapid technological advance over the last several years.

The computerized engineering technology seems to offer efficient means of treatment planning.

However, clinical investigations do not deliver consistent data about the accuracy and treatment outcomes of the digital workflow.

Therefore, the aim of this article is to compare the performance of digitalized workflow to conventional one.

Keywords: Digital; workflow; cast; Scanning; accuracy
