Digital Dentures, A Unique Modular Approach
Digital denture technology supports the clinician in efforts to reduce the clinical time required to produce a denture. Clinical procedures can be facilitated by digitally manufactured custom trays and recording devices. The integration of clinical data in available design software assures that the technician is designing dentures according to sound anatomic references. The CAD/CAM process, either printing or milling, provide accuracy to support excellence in denture fit and occlusion. The communication offered between clinician and technician in design and through prototypes that give patients direct feedback to proposed denture designs highlight the many advantages of digital denture technology, and will only enhance the close cooperation and working relationship of the dentist/technician restorative team.
This live patient hands-on course covers key components for the clinical and technical fabrication of a lab based Digital Denture utilizing a unique modular process that offers the restorative team the ability to choose prosthetic materials printed & milled based on the best combination for the patient.
Learning Objectives:
- Digital dentures; a better process, or just different?
- Printing & milling
- Understand clinical instrumentation protocols and competencies for digital denture success.
- Update on digital denture materials.
