Article Synopsis
- A digital workflow was developed to manage the transfer of jaw relations and restorative spaces for patients with severe tooth wear, from temporary to permanent restorations.
- This process involved creating precise stereolithographic templates to control tooth reduction depth and using a digital articulator to transfer jaw relations between different restoration stages.
- The digital approach ensured a consistent jaw relationship and successful prosthetic outcomes throughout the occlusal reconstruction.
This clinical report describes a digital workflow for the rehabilitation of an 8-year-old patient diagnosed with ectodermal dysplasia. Based on the patient's digital primary casts, small custom trays and an arch tracer were designed and 3-dimensionally printed. The mandibular custom tray and retention plate with a tracing screw were assembled with tracing plate, forming an individual assembled mini-arch tracer system to record the jaw relationship together with a conventional facebow and a digital articulator.
