Background. Digital dentistry continues to evolve, offering improved accuracy, efficiency, and patient experience across various prosthodontic procedures. Many previous reviews have focused on digital applications in prosthodontics. But the use of a fully digital workflow for full-arch implant-supported prostheses in edentulous patients remains an emerging and underexplored area in the literature. Objective. This article presents a comprehensive methodological review of the digital workflow in full-arch implant-supported rehabilitation. It follows a structured literature exploration and synthesizes relevant technological processes from patient assessment to prosthetic delivery. Methods. The relevant literature was retrieved from the PubMed database on 20 June 2024, to identify the most recent and relevant studies. A total of 22 articles met the eligibility criteria and were included in the review. The majority included case and technical reports. Results. The review illustrates the integration and application of digital tools in implant dentistry, including cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) exposure, intraoral scanning, digital smile design, virtual patients, guided surgery, and digital scanning. The key findings demonstrate multiple advantages of a fully digital workflow, such as reduced treatment time and cost, increased patient satisfaction, and improved interdisciplinary communication. Conclusions. Despite these benefits, limitations persist due to the low level of evidence, technological challenges, and the lack of standardized protocols. Further randomized controlled trials and long-term clinical evaluations are essential to validate the effectiveness and feasibility of a fully digital workflow for full-arch implant-supported rehabilitation.
