Synopsis:

This lecture offers an overview of the application of the latest technology in the fabrication of digital denture. In this lecture, the innovative workflows of the digital denture fabrication where conventional and digital techniques are merged to combine the clinical steps of denture fabrication will be introduced. Every aspect and potential clinical scenarios of the digital denture workflow will be presented through the combination of the scientific evidence from the literature and clinical cases. By the end of this presentations, attendees will have a comprehensive understanding of the intra-oral scanning technology of edentulous arch and how this can be utilized in the denture fabrication process.

Learning Objectives:

• Provide an overview of Digital dentures.
