Photogrammetry in Implant Dentistry

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This narrative review examines the application of photogrammetry (PG) in complete-arch implant fixed prosthodontics, as it offers an alternative to conventional and intraoral scanning (IOS) impression techniques. Evidence from in vitro and in vivo studies suggests that PG provides high trueness and precision. The technique supports both immediate and delayed loading workflows, potentially reducing prosthetic misfit and chairside adjustments. Limitations include the need for separate IOS scans to capture soft tissues and occlusion, the cost of the device, and the restricted scanning scope. Future improvements in integration and accessibility may broaden its role in implant dentistry.
