Abstract

This JPD Digital video presentation presents the clinical treatment from start to finish in which a dual-shaded bi-coloured monolithic disk was used for the fabrication of an immediate digital complete denture followed by the delivery of a definitive digital complete denture. The treatment plan included extraction of the remaining maxillary and mandibular teeth followed by an esthetic evaluation with digital smile design. The digital definitive complete dentures were milled from a monolithic dual-shaded disk.
