AI Article Synopsis
- Digital workflows for removable partial dentures have introduced new materials like PEEK, allowing for the complete digital design and manufacture of denture components.
- Physical casts are still needed for assembly, but a cast-free procedure could streamline the process by cutting down on steps, speeding up production, and minimizing waste.
- The technical report outlines a workflow using intraoral scanning to create a removable partial denture with a PEEK framework and milled components, eliminating the need for physical casts.
Article Abstract
Digital workflows for removable partial dentures have enabled new machinable framework materials, including polyetheretherketone (PEEK). In addition, all denture components can be designed and manufactured digitally. Nonetheless, physical casts are still required for assembly of the components. The adoption of a cast-free fabrication procedure may enhance benefits, including a reduced number of procedures, faster processing, and reduced material waste. The purpose of this technical report was to demonstrate a workflow for the fabrication of a removable partial denture with a PEEK framework, milled teeth, and milled flanges, which uses intraoral scanning and no physical casts.

Statement Of Problem: Data on the clinical performance of monolithic Zirconia screw-retained crowns on external hexagon implants fabricated from digital scans through a cast-free, fully digital workflow is lacking and needs to be included.
Purpose: This retrospective multicentric study aimed to evaluate the real-life clinical results of monolithic Zirconia screw-retained crowns without the interposition of a Ti-base on external hexagon implants fabricated from intraoral scans and a cast-free approach in private practices.
Materials And Methods: Single external hex implant fixtures were restored with monolithic zirconia crowns without the interposition of a Tibase.

Digital complete dentures fabricated using a mucostatic impression, like intraoral scans, are desirable for their beneficial effect on long-term residual ridge stability but may have less retention than those fabricated with a mucocompressive impression. Border molding procedure may improve initial retention, thus favoring adaptation to new dentures, especially in cases where neuromuscular dysfunctions may diminish the patient's ability to cope with adapting to existing motor patterns or learn new ones. However, a mucocompressive impression may cause higher residual ridge resorption, thus resulting in a retention decrease over time.

This article presents a novel digital and cast-free workflow for fabricating a definitive hollow obturator prosthesis. A digital altered cast is made after the framework-fitting appointment to maximize support. The framework, hollow obturator base, and teeth are digitally designed, additively manufactured, and then assembled precisely without a cast.
