Abstract Digital dentistry has rapidly evolved with the integration of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technologies. Accurate digital impressions are essential for the fabrication of implant-supported prostheses and complete dentures, particularly in edentulous arches where conventional intraoral scanners (IOSs) often demonstrate limitations. Photogrammetry has emerged as a promising technique capable of improving the accuracy of implant position recording. This review article presents a case-based analysis evaluating the role of photogrammetry and related technologies, such as light detection and ranging (LiDAR), in digital implant dentistry. Evidence from clinical studies, systematic reviews, and experimental investigations indicates that photogrammetry provides superior trueness and precision compared with intraoral scanning, especially in full-arch implant rehabilitation. However, limitations such as soft tissue recording and workflow complexity remain. Further clinical studies are required to optimize these technologies for routine prosthodontic practice.
Keywords Photogrammetry, digital dentistry, intraoral scanner, implant prosthesis, CAD-CAM, edentulous arch.
