Digital Fabrication of Complete Dentures Using Multifunctional Custom Trays: A Case Report

Conventional complete denture fabrication is a complex, multi-step clinical procedure. This clinical report presents a novel digital modality utilizing multifunctional custom trays based on a virtual patient. These trays consolidate key clinical steps-including definitive impressions, esthetic preview of the maxillary teeth, and jaw relation records-into a single appointment, thereby reducing procedural complexity and minimizing the repeated insertions and removals of different appliances throughout the treatment course. This functional integration enhances patient comfort, facilitates improved patient-physician communication during the treatment planning phase, and enables more predictable esthetic outcomes through early anterior tooth preview. The complete denture can be fabricated within three clinical visits.
