{Abstract}: 3D-printed shell complete dentures generated from a scan of the patient's existing prostheses can simplify and expedite the surgical planning and interim restoration design for complete arch rehabilitations. Three patients were rehabilitated with endosteal implants, and interim restorations were generated from the contours of the 3D-printed shell complete dentures used as diagnostic aids. This case series report presents the recommended protocol and its clinical progression, in addition to clinical and radiographic images of the treatment outcomes.
