J Prosthet Dent. 2020 Feb;123(2):236-238. doi: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2019.03.007. Epub 2019 May 16.

Abstract

Duplication of complete dentures by using digital technology is now widely practiced. However, the method of accepting only the cameo surface of dentures and forming a new artificial tooth arrangement by using analog techniques is still complex and time-consuming. A method for creating a new denture by implementing various artificial tooth arrangements by using a computer-aided design (CAD) software program after importing the existing denture cameo surface as is into the software is introduced. The technique helps solve patient discomfort due to occlusal problems in patients with complete dentures.
