Synopsis:

 In recent years, the advent of CAD/CAM technology gives us the opportunity to improve the fit, comfort, and functionality of dentures. We will discuss how we can use these technologies to fabricate a denture from start to finish, as well as the rationale behind the workflow we have adopted in our practice. We will also expand on the pitfalls and disadvantages of CAD/CAM fabricated dentures, and consequently where we hope to see improvements in the technology. We foresee that the future of denture fabrication lies in CAD/CAM fabrication, allowing us to provide ultimate patient satisfaction, while providing efficient and high-quality care.

Learning Objectives:

1. Explore the importance of CAD/CAM technology in achieving effective and efficient treatment for fully edentulous patients  
2. Gain an understanding of our unique CAD/CAM workflow developed to rehabilitate edentulous patients in three streamlined appointments
3. Learn strategies for successful adaptation of our workflow into all clinical settings
