Toshiki Nagai, DDS, MSD, FRCDC, is a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Prosthodontics at the Indiana University School of Dentistry in Indianapolis. A national and international presenter, his professional interests include prosthodontics, implant dentistry, and digital workflows.
Advanced digital workflows paired now allow clinicians to plan bone reduction, implant placement, and prosthetic design with unprecedented accuracy. By integrating immediate loading protocols and durable interim prostheses, these…
Artificial intelligence and advanced digital workflows are transforming full-arch implant planning by improving accuracy, efficiency, and collaboration
The dual-scan protocol takes the guesswork out of implant planning by pairing CBCT data with a well-adapted diagnostic denture. When executed correctly, it streamlines data integration and ensures implant placement follows a fully…
Accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of predictable full-arch rehabilitation, especially in complex maxillary cases where anatomy, biology, and esthetics intersect. Through a combination of digital and physical diagnostic tools, clinicians…

Both fixed and removable implant-supported prostheses can restore comfort, function, and confidence in edentulous patients when treatment is personalized to anatomy and patient preference.
Achieving both esthetic and functional excellence in complete-arch rehabilitation depends on thorough diagnosis and strategic treatment planning. By following Misch’s classification of implant-supported and implant-assisted prostheses,…
A prosthetically driven digital workflow enables clinicians to optimize esthetics, function, and longevity in implant-supported and implant-assisted complete-arch prostheses.
