Complete Dentures Fabricated with CAD/CAM Technology and a Traditional Clinical Recording Method

Nadica Janeva et al. Open Access Maced J Med Sci. .

Abstract

The introduction of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology into complete denture (CD) fabrication ushered in a new era in removable prosthodontics. Commercially available CAD/CAM denture systems are expected to improve upon the disadvantages associated with conventional fabrication. The purpose of this report is to present the workflow involved in fabricating a CD with a traditional clinical recording method and CAD/CAM technology and to summarize the advantages to the dental practitioner and the patient.

Keywords: CAD/CAM; complete denture; complete digital denture; digital dentistry; traditional clinical recording method.
