Abstract:
The present technique uses a novel digital workflow that combines precise computer-aided design (CAD) with a 2-step milling process, allowing for the high-precision incorporation of metal mesh into the denture base without compromising tissue adaptation. This approach provides edentulous patients with a safer, longer-lasting, and more comfortable removable prosthesis.
