Unconventional digital dentures: Overcoming software challenges and integrating digital workflows into conventional...

Digital workflows have revolutionized denture fabrication, offering greater customization and rapid production. This clinical report describes 2 treatment approaches using digital techniques to address prosthetic challenges. The first patient had a large maxillary defect after mucormycosis surgery, necessitating a combination of digital and conventional methods for obturator fabrication because of computer-aided design software program limitations. For the second patient, digital workflows were combined with the conventional neutral zone technique to improve denture stability and retention, effectively addressing the challenge of severely resorbed arches. These treatment approaches demonstrate the potential of digital workflows in prosthodontics and highlight the need for further technological advancements.
