The present article describes a step-by-step maximally digitalized workflow protocol with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) in partial-arch edentulous patients rehabilitated with fixed dental prostheses and removable partial dentures (FDPs and RPDs). Facial digitalization, intraoral scans, and functional mandibular movement recordings were used to create a 4D virtual patient on commercially available CAD software. The fixed components including post-and-cores, both metal-ceramic with extra-coronal attachment and monolithic zirconia crowns, and the RPDs were manufactured by computer numerical controlled direct milling.

CAD-CAM complete digital dentures: An improved clinical and laboratory workflow.

J Prosthet Dent

December 2024

Associate Professor and Department Head, Department of Prosthodontics, University of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy.

The purpose of this article was to present a novel clinical workflow for the fabrication of complete dentures using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology. The dental technique consists of 3 clinical steps and 2 laboratory phases that result in the production of 2 CAD-CAM milled complete denture bases with prefabricated teeth. The integration of analog and digital procedures and materials maximizes their benefits in the planning and fabrication of complete dentures, with the goal of improving clinical outcomes.

Wear resistance of 3D printed, milled, and prefabricated methacrylate-based resin materials: An in vitro study.

J Prosthet Dent

Assistant Professor, Department of Prosthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand. Electronic address:

Statement Of Problem: Three-dimensional (3D) printing and milling technologies have been increasingly used in prosthodontic practice for fabricating digital prostheses. Nevertheless, evidence relating to the wear resistance of denture teeth fabricated using these methods is lacking.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the wear resistance exhibited by denture teeth fabricated using 3D printing and milling technologies with prefabricated denture teeth.

Article Synopsis
  • * There are ongoing debates about the appropriateness of using CR for diagnosing and treating issues like temporomandibular disorders, establishing occlusion in dental reconstructions, and guiding orthodontic treatment.
  • * The paper reviews the current evidence and suggests a decision tree for the clinical application of CR, aiming to provide clarity and guidance for practitioners in various dental situations.

The Role of Digital Facebow for CAD/CAM Implant-Supported Crowns Workflow.

Acta Medica (Hradec Kralove)

September 2024

Department of Dentistry, Faculty of Medicine in Hradec Králové, Charles University, Czech Republic.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent digital technology advancements in dentistry have improved clinical workflows, particularly in creating custom-made crowns and fixed partial dentures (FPDs) using virtual articulation and digital facebows for personalized CAD settings.
  • A case report involving a 68-year-old patient needing a replacement for missing teeth led to the initial plan of an implant-supported FPD using zirconia (ZrO2), but complications due to spatial constraints shifted the focus to porcelain fused to metal (PFM).
  • The study found that individually crafted PFM FPDs needed fewer adjustments compared to milled ZrO2 restorations, benefiting from reduced working time and fewer intraoral modifications thanks to data from the digital facebow.
