Passive fit is essential for multiple-unit implant-supported prostheses. Conventional methods to assess the passivity of complete-arch implant-supported prostheses do not allow 3-dimensional (3D) visualization and quantification of misfit. This report describes the marginal and internal fit evaluation of a complete-arch implant-supported prosthesis by using the triple-scan protocol involving a scanner and a 3D analysis freeware. This technique allows researchers, clinicians, or dental technicians to detect and quantify 3D prosthetic misfit, which may facilitate the preparation for dental appointments and objective measurement of misfit for research studies.
