Abstract

Replacement of missing teeth with complete denture prostheses have been successfully accomplished for decades. However, limitations of denture materials and the number of appointments required to fabricate new or replacement complete dentures preclude practicality. New innovations involving a partially or completely digital workflow facilitate the fabrication of complete dentures in fewer, shorter appointments, and by incorporating materials that exhibit improved physical properties. The purpose of this manuscript is to describe the variety of workflows that can be implemented to incorporate digital denture fabrication into clinical practice.

Keywords: CAD/CAM denture prostheses; Digital dentures; digital denture workflow; milled denture base.
