Area of Science:

Dentistry
Biomaterials Engineering
Digital Manufacturing

Background:

Traditional fabrication of complete removable dentures involves analog techniques which can be time-consuming and may yield suboptimal prostheses.
Digital technologies, including computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM), offer advancements in denture fabrication.
Existing digital workflows have shown potential in reducing patient appointments for high-quality prostheses.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide an overview of additive manufacturing (AM) in current complete removable denture workflows.
To describe efficient, three-appointment clinical techniques utilizing AM for denture fabrication.
To present methods for producing both clinical trial and definitive prostheses using AM.

Main Methods:

Utilizing computer-aided design (CAD) for digital denture design.
Employing additive manufacturing (AM), specifically 3D printing, for prosthesis fabrication.
Implementing a streamlined, three-appointment clinical protocol.

Main Results:

Additive manufacturing produces complete removable dentures with demonstrable superiority over analog techniques.
Digital workflows, particularly those using AM, significantly reduce the number of clinical appointments required.
The described three-appointment technique enables the production of both trial and definitive dentures.

Conclusions:

Additive manufacturing is a viable and effective technology for contemporary complete removable denture workflows.
Digital fabrication using AM offers improved quality and efficiency in prosthodontics.
A three-appointment protocol using AM is effective for producing high-quality definitive dentures.
