CAD/CAM COMPLETE DENTURES – THE DENTCA SYSTEM. A CASE REPORT

Authors: Abdulaziz F. BINRAYES

Abstract:

However, there are many challenges surrounding conventional denture fabrication. By using CAD/CAM systems, it may be possible to reduce the fabrication time and cost. This is a clinical report of an edentulous patient that had CAD/CAM complete dentures fabricated with the Dentca system, which requires only two visits. The first visit includes Dentca trays selection, final impression, vertical dimension and centric relation record. A try-in visit is an optional step. The final visit is for delivery of complete dentures. The time required for processing dentures is 5 days. The CAD/CAM denture systems may save chair time, increase production, and result in an acceptable, complete denture.
