Chairside digital denture

Title: Chairside digital denture

Abstract:

Edentulism is not an eventual, healthy occurrence in an adult population. But it is most often the result of repeated tooth extractions from the combined pathologic processes of dental caries, periodontal disease, or a method to reduce the costs associated with dental treatment. A complete denture is a removable acrylic replacement for teeth and bone lost in an entire dental arch. Complete dentures are relatively economical, easy to fabricate and repair, and provide a level of esthetics and function acceptable to many patients. In recent years, an increasing number of reports have indicated the efficacy of denture fabrication using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology. the ability of additive manufacturing to mould multiple materials in combination based on CAD data influences the overall quality, the mechanical properties of printed parts, the total cost, and the manufacturing time. The milling process wastes large quantities of denture base material, and more recent 3D prototyping promises a more sustainable additive approach by using less denture resin.

Audience Take Away:

• Understand the concept of 3d printing.
• Understanfd the difference between 3d printed denture and milled denture.
• Understand chairside 3d printed denture workflow.
