DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY IN COMPLETE DENTURE PROSTHODONTICS: A REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Abstract

Background: Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology has expanded to embrace implant, maxillofacial and removable prosthodontics including the fabrication of complete dentures. However, despite that the implementation of computer-aided technology with edentulous patients seemed to improve and simplify complete denture treatment as it significantly reduced the number of patient visits, yet still a limited number of reports described its use for complete denture fabrication
