The possibility of applying this protocol would depend on certain important factors. The application of the digital workflow mentioned in the protocol guarantees rapidity, precision, and esthetics. This report aims to describe a fully digital workflow using a dual scan impression technique to fabricate immediate fixed complete dentures (FCDs) for zygomatic and standard implants. A 58-year-old female patient requested treatment for her severely atrophic maxilla, and four unrehabilitated implants in the mandible. After proper diagnosis and planification, four zygomatic implants and two standard implants were placed. During the surgery, transmucosal abutments were placed on all implants. After suturing, the positions of the implants were recorded using a stereophotogrammetric technique, creating a standard tessellation (STL) file. In the lower arch, the second phase of the surgery was carried out: the transmucosal abutments were placed, and then the implant positions were recorded in the same way. The soft tissues were rescanned after suturing with an intraoral scanner (IOS), and all STL files were aligned to obtain the virtual final models. The pre-design after virtual modifications was aligned with the definitive models. The provisional prostheses were milled and placed after six hours after the surgery, and the definitive prostheses were placed six months after the surgery. The dual scan technique used obtained a precise fit for both the provisional and definitive FCDs. This technique might be an effective and reliable alternative for the fabrication of immediate and definitive screw-retained FCDs in a completely digital workflow. The time taken for scanning and fabrication was reduced, and the clinician\u2019s and patient\u2019s satisfaction were improved.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm12237464","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,1]],"date-time":"2023-12-01T08:36:59Z","timestamp":1701419819000},"page":"7464","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Immediate Loading of Zygomatic Implants Using a Dual Scan Technique"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1220-0782","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mustafa","family":"Gseibat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Conservative Dentistry and Prostheses, Faculty of Odontology, University Complutense of Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Valerio","family":"Sorrentino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Conservative Dentistry and Prostheses, Faculty of Odontology, University Complutense of Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1581-7059","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pablo","family":"Sevilla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Conservative Dentistry and Prostheses, Faculty of Odontology, University Complutense of Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1422-5257","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jes\u00fas","family":"Pel\u00e1ez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Conservative Dentistry and Prostheses, Faculty of Odontology, University Complutense of Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7452-9255","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria J.","family":"Suarez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Conservative Dentistry and Prostheses, Faculty of Odontology, University Complutense of Madrid, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1325","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joms.2005.05.313","article-title":"Internal structure of zygomatic bone related to zygomatic fixture","volume":"63","author":"Kato","year":"2005","journal-title":"J.
