Complete dentures can be processed using a variety of techniques. The ultimate goal of each technique is to produce a completed prosthesis that exhibits retention, stability, and support through minimal amounts of processing distortions.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and patient-oriented results for CAD / CAM of a monolithic denture, manufactured after only 2 visits. Conclusion: after one year, patients evaluate the CAD / CAM prosthesis significantly better than a conventional prosthesis, especially in the area of pressure spots.

Immediate Loading of Pterygomaxillary Implants with Fixed Full-arch Fully Milled Prostheses (Avadent) in the Maxilla: : A Case Report

Chief complaint “I am unhappy with my smile, I don’t like the discrepancy in my teeth and gums”.

Abstract The development of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing systems for dentistry in the 1980s resulted in the successful fabrication of crowns, fixed dental prostheses, and superstructures for both natural teeth and dental implants. Today, this technology is available for constructing digitally designed and milled, completely removable dental prostheses. The procedure uses clinical and laboratory protocols that allow fabrication of completely removable prostheses within two clinical appointments. The aim of this clinical report is to present the author’s first experience with digital complete overdentures, the practicality of this technology, and patient feedback.

Using occlusal devices is a conservative measure to protect the teeth from excessive occlusal wear, to relax the muscles of mastication, and to ameliorate or alleviate the myogenous symptoms of temporomandibular disorders. The design of devices differs according to their intended use. One of the most common types of occlusal devices is fabricated from hard acrylic resin with canine guidance and an anterior plateau.

The traditional methods for fabricating these devices have been vacuum thermoforming, sprinkling of acrylic resin,3 or a combination of both.4,5 Meanwhile, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology allows the subtractive fabrication of occlusal devices by milling them from a polymer blank.

The fabrication of complete dentures by computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) methods has become popular in both clinical and laboratory practices in recent years.1 This increased popularity may be attributed to the improvements in the CAD-CAM techniques and the growing awareness of dental practitioners and laboratory technicians, along with an increasing flexibility to combine parts of the digital workflow with conventional clinical and laboratory protocols. Two CADCAM techniques, a computerized numeric control subtractive milling process and a system of rapid prototyping (RP) that is commonly known as 3D printing, an additive manufacturing process, are available to fabricateCAD-CAM complete dentures.
