Photogrammetry (PG) appeared as an alternative for multiple implant impressions. Stereo-photogrammetry is a more sophisticated alternative to PG, which estimates the 3D coordinates of the points of an object, making the process quicker and more precise. A search in PubMed MEDLINE, PMC, and Google Scholar was conducted to find systematic reviews published in the last 10 years. The PICdental® camera (IDITEC NORTH WEST, SL; Torrelodones, Spain) is a stereocamera that records implant positions in the mouth by means of photogrammetry with the objective of registering and obtaining a viable, reliable, and direct digital impression of the positions of the multiple implants. The use of photogrammetry via PiCdental® camera as an alternative to digital impression for multiple implants is an easy and trustworthy technique that permits an adequate fit without prosthetic complications.
