This technique report describes a fully digital workflow to create a prosthetic articulator-based implant rehabilitation (PAIR) virtual patient for complete-arch or complete-mouth implant rehabilitation. This workflow uses a custom gothic arch tracer during the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan and a 3-dimensional virtual facebow when superimposing data. The PAIR virtual patient possesses reliable centric relation and vertical dimension of occlusion and is compatible with virtual articulators. Computer-aided implant planning and a digital prosthetic design can be seamlessly integrated by using this virtual patient.
