The development and expanded use of digital dentures has led to their use in the immediate loading of complete arch implant prostheses. This paper reviews the prosthetic complications that can occur with immediately loaded conversion prostheses along with the advantages afforded by digital dentures in minimizing or eliminating these complications. The process of using digital dentures in the fabrication of conversion dentures for immediate loading of complete arch implant prostheses is presented as well as the use of digital dentures for definitive prostheses. The described procedures include methods of obtaining clinical records, the fabrication of conversion dentures, the immediate loading procedure using a conversion prosthesis, and use of a conversion denture in the fabrication of a definitive prosthesis. © 2021 by the American College of Prosthodontists.
