Steps in digital denture fabrication
Keywords:
digital denture, CAD-CAM dentureAbstract
Fabricating a complete denture in a conventional manner may be complicated and difficult. The purpose of this presentation is to describe the benefits of a fully digital workflow and fabrication procedure of complete dentures based on digital impressions of edentulous jaws. The digital data for the workflow were acquired using an intraoral scanner and were then used to design the denture base and teeth. The resulting data were exported to a 3D printer or a milling machine for denture fabrication. The high accuracy of digitalized dental fabrication has been proved by several studies compared to conventional methods .CAD/CAM fabrication of complete dentures based on digital impressions of edentulous jaws obtained using an intraoral scanner. By this method the occurrence of human processing errors, inaccuracies, and multiple clinical appointments can be avoided.
