Abstract

After a dental trauma, difficulties of communication and the consequences of the complex clinical situation often make regular chairside oral care long and complicated for special needs patients. The aim of this case report is to show how CAD/CAM technology may help in the prosthetic treatment of a clinical situation by keeping the number and duration of clinical sessions to a minimum while enabling a good aesthetic and functional result to be achieved in the long term.

Keywords: CAD/CAM; developmental disability; prosthodontics.
