What Is ArchFlow360°?

ArchFlow360° is a comprehensive, digital full-arch workflow developed to guide dental professionals through the entire implant restoration process—from diagnosis and planning to final prosthesis delivery. By leveraging advanced tools such as photogrammetry, intraoral scanning, CAD/CAM design, and rapid fabrication, this workflow reduces chair time, enhances accuracy, and significantly improves the patient experience.

Key Components of the ArchFlow360° Workflow

1. Digital Diagnosis & Treatment Planning

Using a CBCT system like PreXion3D Explorer or RayScan Alpha Plus, clinicians acquire a full 3D scan of the maxillofacial structures. This data is combined with an intraoral scan to create a detailed virtual model for prosthetic-driven implant planning.

2. Intraoral Scanning

A high-resolution scanner such as the Shining 3D Aoralscan Elite captures the soft tissue, occlusion, and pre-op anatomy. With built-in photogrammetry capabilities, it also provides implant-level accuracy for immediate load protocols.

3. Photogrammetry for Multi-Unit Accuracy

Photogrammetry systems like Tupel 3D or iCam4D from iMetric are used to precisely register the position of multi-unit abutments, ensuring passivity and accuracy of the final prosthesis. This eliminates traditional analog impression distortions and significantly shortens turnaround time.

4. Prosthetic Design with AI-Enhanced Software

Using CAD tools such as 3Shape Dental System, clinicians or lab partners can design full-arch provisionals and final prosthetics. AI-powered design tools reduce labor time while improving anatomical fidelity and functional accuracy.

5. In-Office Fabrication

For immediate temporaries, ArchFlow360° supports in-house production using:

• 3D printers like SprintRay Pro 2, LuxCreo iLux Pro, or Flashforge Ultra 2 for printed provisionals

• Milling machines from vhf or Roland DGSHAPE for milled PMMA or zirconia prosthetics

6. Try-In, Delivery, and Adjustments

Digitally printed or milled try-ins allow clinicians to evaluate esthetics, phonetics, and fit before moving forward with the final. Any adjustments can be made digitally and reprinted or milled same-day.

Benefits of the ArchFlow360° Workflow

✅ Streamlined Chair Time
From surgery to delivery, the digital workflow minimizes appointments and increases surgical efficiency.

✅ Improved Accuracy and Passive Fit
Photogrammetry ensures that the final prosthesis sits passively on multi-unit abutments—reducing strain on implants and improving long-term success.

✅ Same-Day Prosthetics
With integrated in-office production, practices can deliver provisionals or final restorations in a single visit.

✅ Reduced Lab Reliance
Bring more control in-house and minimize delays caused by external lab schedules.

✅ Scalability and Predictability
ArchFlow 360™ is designed for both solo practitioners and growing DSOs looking to scale full-arch services with consistency.

Ideal Use Cases

• All-on-X full-arch implant cases

• Immediate load workflows

• Zygomatic or complex angulated implant cases

• Converting denture patients to fixed restorations
