Episode Summary
We all know that full arch implant cases can be difficult. More specifically the bite registration can be difficult to establish because we don't have reference of teeth to set the vertical dimension of occlusion. Is there any digital method to solve this problem? Well, there is! Dr. Philippe Nuytens, a well-respected prosthodontist, will explain how a simple idea crossed his mind that encouraged him to develop and commercialize a novel scan body system for intraoral scanners. The system makes it easy and fast for the dentist to quickly and reliably establish VDO and immediately scan the mouth. Each scan body incorporates an adjustable bite screw (CAPS). This episode addresses this new and exciting VDO tool. You can learn more at Viva Learning through Dr. Nuyten's webinar and at https://www.dynamicabutment.com/
