Digital Dentures
Digital Dentures differ from traditional dentures in almost every aspect, from impression-taking to denture design and processing.
Digital Denture Fabrication
Three basic steps for digital denture fabrication
Data Acquisition
The mouth is scanned and registered using an intra-oral scanner (IOS) in our office that helps acquire the information directly from the patient’s oral cavity or by making conventional impressions.
Data Processing
Data processing is accomplished using reverse engineering and computer-aided designing (CAD) software programs.
Prosthesis Manufacturing
The prosthesis may be manufactured through the subtractive or additive method. With the subtractive method, the denture base is milled from a prepolymerized resin block while additive manufacturing, also known as 3-dimensional 3D printing comprises of techniques that fabricate the prosthesis layer by layer.
