Disclosed herein is method for designing a dental prosthesis and a positioning guide for placing the dental prosthesis on implants in the jaw while maintain proper occlusion. In particular the method relates to a method for designing the dental prosthesis and the positioning guide prior to implant placement. Accordingly, the disclosure relates to a method and a kit of components suited for one-day implant surgery thereby reducing the time the patient spend in the dentist chair.

Method for providing a dental prosthesis and a positioning guide for placing the dental prosthesis

A method for designing a dental prosthesis and a positioning guide for placing the dental prosthesis on implants in the jaw while maintaining proper occlusion relates to designing the dental prosthesis and the positioning guide prior to implant placement.

Disclosed is a method for scanning an edentulous patent who has a denture, where an impression material arranged at the gum-facing surfaces of the dentures is shaped by the patient's gums and both the teeth side and the gum-facing surface of the denture is scanned and the obtained digital 3D representations are used to determine the relative arrangement of the patient's edentulous jaws in a bite determined by the dentures.
