J Prosthet Dent. 2018 May;119(5):727-732. doi: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2017.06.019. Epub 2017 Sep 28.

Abstract

Digitalization of the design and manufacture of removable complete dentures has numerous advantages. The workflow as presented integrates current open digital technologies into a functional protocol, enabling complete dentures to be designed and fabricated without system-specific trays or instruments. This is done by using a conventional technique to acquire anatomic information.
