Abstract:
The analog technique of making bead lines for a metal superstructure framework for the maxillary implant-supported overdenture is created by scribing shallow grooves on the surface of a definitive gypsum cast. This report describes a digital technique that uses computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing technology to make dental bead lines on an intraoral impression without using the gypsum cast.
