Abstract

Digital technologies use high-precision three-dimensional scanning, intelligence-aided design software, and multi-axis numerical control milling or 3D printing, which can produce restorations with reliable precision and suitable function. However, the development of digital technologies in the field of complete denture restoration has been slow due to the complexity of prosthesis. This review article introduces the current research status and clinical applications of digital complete dentures in prosthodontic clinics and dental laboratories to provide beneficial references to prosthodontists and dental technicians.

数字化技术利用高精度三维扫描、智能辅助设计软件和多轴数控切削或3D打印技术,可以制作出精度可靠、功能适宜的修复体。然而,由于全口义齿操作的复杂性,数字化技术在全口义齿修复领域的研发进度相对缓慢。本文将从数字化全口义齿的研究现状以及临床应用两个方面,阐述目前数字化全口义齿在口腔修复临床和技工室应用和研发的进展情况。.

Keywords: complete denture; computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture; digital impression; digital mandibular position.
