Complete denture fabrication with CAD/CAM technology: a case report
The International Journal of Esthetic Dentistry
|January 31, 2018
Summary
Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) revolutionizes removable denture fabrication. This technology enables customized, aesthetically pleasing full dentures for the growing elderly population.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Biomaterials Engineering
- Digital Health
Background:
- The global elderly population is increasing, leading to a higher demand for dental prosthetics.
- Full removable dentures remain a primary treatment for fully edentulous patients.
- Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) has transformed dental workflows.
Observation:
- CAD/CAM technology can now produce complete removable dentures through virtual design and fabrication.
- A novel protocol for CAD/CAM-supported denture fabrication is presented.
- This method simplifies laboratory procedures by eliminating conventional steps.
Findings:
- CAD/CAM allows for patient-specific tooth shape design, enhancing denture customization.
- The integration of appropriate staining techniques improves the esthetic outcome.
- The presented method yields full removable dentures with excellent facial integration.
Implications:
- CAD/CAM offers a more efficient and customizable approach to fabricating full removable dentures.
- This technology can improve patient satisfaction and esthetics in prosthetic dentistry.
- The adoption of CAD/CAM in denture fabrication is crucial for meeting the demands of an aging population.

C4 Pathway and CAM
49.4K
Most plants use the C3 pathway for carbon fixation. However, some plants, such as sugar cane, corn, and cacti that grow in hot conditions, use alternative pathways to fix carbon and conserve energy loss due to photorespiration. Photorespiration is the process that occurs when the oxygen concentration is high. Under such conditions, the rubisco enzyme in the Calvin cycle binds O2 instead of CO2, which halts photosynthesis and consumes energy.

Data Reporting and Recording
5.5K
Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

Hybridoma Technology
17.8K
Hybridoma technology is used for the large-scale production of monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies bind to only a single antigenic determinant or epitope. Such antibodies are used in research, diagnostics, and disease therapy. The hybridoma technology established in 1975 by Georges Köhler and Cesar Milstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1984 for revolutionizing research and therapy.
