Digital Dentures: Benefits, Workflows, and Future Applications

Brief course synopsis: 

This course will focus on the current and future applications of digital dentures.  Discussing the benefits, limitations, and clinical workflows. With the widespread use of intraoral scanners, capturing the edentulous soft tissue as well as digitizing traditional records, have changed the way we fabricate dentures. This presentation will demonstrate the clinical workflows and discuss the pros and cons of using these emerging techniques. Additionally, it is widely known that 3D printed complete dentures are becoming a viable option, but how do they compare to milled dentures? This lecture will compare the physical properties of milled and printed complete dentures to help determine their best applications.
