Abstract:
In patients with severe tooth mobility, conventional impression making can be challenging because of the risk of accidental tooth extraction. Digital intraoral scanning avoids such a complication but does not capture optimal border extensions for a complete denture. This clinical report presents a combined digital and analog recording technique which allows the recording of optimal vestibular border extensions without the risk of tooth extraction.
