Abstract

3D printed dentures are becoming a reality with the development of intraoral scanners and material availability for additive manufacturing. Described herein are some workflows that are designed to accurately capture patient information for improved fabrication of well-fitting complete dentures that are done traditionally, immediately or replicated dentures. Techniques described include traditional methods combined with digital methods for improved fit and function of the prothesis while simultaneously achieving an expedited delivery of the prosthesis.
