Category	Detail
Condition	Dental overdenture treatment and restoration workflows
Key Mechanisms	Six reusable titanium scan bodies press-fit onto overdenture abutments and provide distinct reference points for intraoral scanning; the laboratory uses the digital records to position and cure overdenture housings.
Target Population	Clinicians and patients undergoing fixed or removable overdenture treatment, including replacement or conversion cases.
Care Setting	Dental practices and dental laboratories coordinating digital scanning, overdenture housing placement, and restoration delivery.

Key Highlights

ROE describes ArchBridge as a patent-pending digital scanning system and workflow for fixed and removable overdenture cases.
The six scan bodies have distinct geometries, tactile seating, and sandblasted titanium surfaces intended to support intraoral optical capture.
The laboratory positions and cures housings before delivery, replacing conventional chairside blockout and intraoral acrylic pickup procedures.
ROE states that the workflow eliminates poured models and analogs for attachment positioning and is compatible with most major overdenture systems.
Supported applications include replacing an existing overdenture, converting a healing denture, and converting a removable overdenture to a fixed hybrid restoration.

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

Management

For the ArchBridge workflow, clinicians scan attachment positions intraorally using the scan bodies and send the records to the laboratory for housing placement and curing.
The kit includes spacers and placement tools; ROE states that scan bodies can be autoclaved between patients.

Monitoring & Follow-up

Risks

ROE states that the workflow is intended to address potential housing binding or spacer movement during curing.

Patient & Prescribing Data

Patients receiving fixed or removable overdentures, including patients needing an existing overdenture replaced or a denture converted.

The system transfers attachment-position recording to an intraoral digital scan and housing placement to the laboratory; the source provides no comparative clinical outcomes or patient-specific prescribing data.

Clinical Best Practices

Use the scan bodies as individual reference points during intraoral scanning, as described by ROE.
Confirm scan-body seating using the tactile feedback described for the system.
Coordinate digital records and laboratory housing placement as part of the ArchBridge workflow.
