Résumé
Conventional complete denture protocols require several patient appointments with multiple laboratory procedures. There are multiple workflows incorporating digital technology that can expedite the process, whereas increasing predictability. The proposed digitally replicated denture technique (DRDT) demonstrates a predictable workflow for fabricating complete dentures for patients with existing dentures. A patient's existing maxillary and mandibular complete dentures were scanned with an intraoral scanner. The generated STL was then printed using a desktop 3D printer. This served as a custom tray and record base to decrease patient chair time and associated laboratory procedures. The DRDT workflow incorporates digital technology into a complete denture protocol to minimize laboratory steps and chair time when fabricating complete dentures for patients with existing prostheses. The use of a digitally replicated denture using rapid prototyping can streamline the process of complete denture fabrication for patients with existing dentures.
