Background:

Removable complete dentures are crucial for oral function and aesthetics.
Traditional denture fabrication is labor-intensive and time-consuming.
Digital technologies offer potential improvements in efficiency and precision.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a digital workflow for designing and fabricating removable complete dentures.
To demonstrate the integration of open digital technologies.
To enable system-independent denture production.

Main Methods:

Utilizing a conventional technique for acquiring anatomical information.
Integrating current open digital technologies into a cohesive protocol.
Designing and fabricating complete dentures digitally.

Main Results:

A functional digital protocol for denture design and fabrication was established.
The workflow successfully produced complete dentures.
System-specific trays or instruments were not required, indicating broad applicability.

Conclusions:

Digitalization of removable complete denture workflows is advantageous.
The presented protocol enables efficient, open-technology-based denture fabrication.
This approach enhances accessibility and potentially reduces costs in denture manufacturing.
