Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Area of Science:

Dental Prosthodontics
Digital Dentistry
Biomaterials

Background:

Debonded denture teeth are a frequent complication in fixed and removable dental prostheses.
Missing denture teeth negatively impact aesthetics, speech, and mastication.
Traditional denture tooth repair is difficult due to challenges in matching existing moulds.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a digital workflow for fabricating replacement denture teeth.
To address limitations of traditional denture repair methods.
To improve treatment efficiency and patient outcomes in prosthodontics.

Main Methods:

Utilized a digital workflow involving scanning, computer-aided design (CAD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM).
Fabricated a custom denture tooth to precisely match the patient's needs.
Focused on achieving a well-fitting and esthetic restoration.

Main Results:

The digital workflow successfully produced a well-fitting and esthetic denture tooth.
This approach expedited the treatment process compared to traditional methods.
Demonstrated potential for improved patient satisfaction and clinical efficiency.

Conclusions:

A digital workflow provides an effective alternative for denture tooth replacement.
This method enhances esthetics and function, addressing limitations of conventional repairs.
The digital approach is valuable for improving patient care and readiness, especially when traditional methods are not feasible.
