Passive Fit in Digital Full Arch Implant Rehabilitation
Download the clinical report, “Passive Fit in Digital Full Arch Implant Rehabilitation: A Clinical Application of an Adaptive Titanium Base.”
Published by Cureus, the report examines the role of passive fit in full arch implant rehabilitation and the clinical application of an adaptive titanium base within a fully digital workflow.
The case follows a mandibular All-on-4 rehabilitation incorporating CBCT planning, facial scanning, intraoral scanning, ROE ArchBridge verification, CAD/CAM design and a definitive zirconia hybrid restoration.
The report explores how minor discrepancies can occur throughout scanning, software alignment, manufacturing and prosthetic delivery, and how Passivity Plus Technology is designed to accommodate residual discrepancies during prosthesis seating and torque application.
“The incorporation of the NikolasBase/Passivity Plus system… permitted complete clinical and radiographic seating of the definitive mandibular prosthesis.”
In the case presented, the combined digital workflow, cross-arch verification and adaptive titanium base system achieved complete clinical and radiographic seating of the definitive mandibular prosthesis.
The authors also highlight the limitations of a single case and the need for further long-term clinical investigation.
