Title: Clinical applications for monolithic CAD/CAM implant-retained overdentures: Current applications and future direction

Abstract:

This presentation will focus on the clinical applications of monolithic CAD/CAM implant-retained overdentures, exploring both current uses and potential future directions. The discussion will cover the latest advancements in digital dentistry, focusing on the precision and efficiency that CAD/CAM technology brings to the fabrication of implant-retained overdentures. We will examine case studies demonstrating successful implementations and highlight the benefits of using monolithic materials for these prosthetic solutions, including improved strength, aesthetics, and patient satisfaction. Future trends and ongoing research in this field will also be discussed, providing a comprehensive overview of where the industry is headed.

Audience take away notes:

• Enhanced understanding of CAD/CAM technology.
• Practical application in clinical settings.
• Cost effective approach to provide implant overdentures.
• Understand ideal planning and implant consideration for overdentures.
• Efficient design process for reliable prosthesis.
• Improve patient outcomes and reduce number of total appointments.
