Guided bioprint mock-ups for ridge preservation
Sharing our latest ridge preservation case where we co-designed a printed scaffold with the lab so that soft tissue sculpting happened chairside, not after the fact. Includes STL, tissue photos and patient journaling prompts. **What was hard:** Getting the emergence profile right on first try—we ended up doing two iterations with the lab. **What I'd change:** Start the digital design conversation earlier, before extraction.

Digital wax-up workflow for full-mouth rehab
Documenting our process from intraoral scan to 3D printed try-in. The key was getting the lab involved early so we could iterate on occlusion before committing to final materials. **Timeline:** 3 lab iterations over 2 weeks before final approval. **What broke:** First try-in had inadequate posterior support—caught it before final.
