What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate how full-arch implant-supported prostheses affect lip support in patients undergoing complex dental rehabilitation. The study focuses on how different clinical and laboratory decisions between diagnosis and prosthesis delivery may influence the prosthetic design and the patient's facial profile. Advanced 3D facial scanning and superimposition techniques allow precise measurement of vertical occlusion and lip support. Participants will undergo removal of their full-arch implant-supported prostheses, with digital facial images captured before and after this procedure using a facial scanner. This observational study leverages modern digital technology to measure changes objectively and does not involve experimental treatments. During the study, researchers will assess changes in the volume around the mouth area, distances between the lips and esthetic lines on the facial profile, and angles related to the nose and lips. These measurements occur on the same day as the prosthesis removal. The study helps improve understanding of facial changes related to dental prostheses and involves participants collaborating with the research protocol through imaging and clinical assessments.
