Editor’s choice

In this issue, the editor’s choice is the article published in the Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research, “Marginal Bone Level Changes in Full-Arch Rehabilitation: Digital Versus Analog Protocols—A 5-Year Retrospective Study”, authored by Nicola De Angelis.

In their study, the authors compared the clinical outcomes of analog impressions versus intraoral scanning in full-arch immediate loading rehabilitations. They reported a high implant survival rate after 5 years of follow-up and noted that digital impressions offer a faster and more comfortable workflow for full-arch immediate loading rehabilitation.
