Abstract

The use of intraoral scans for complete denture fabrication may improve patient comfort, clinic ergonomics, and laboratory efficiency. Techniques have been reported regarding specific tasks related to the use of intraoral scans for digital dentures, but an integrated workflow is still lacking. This technique article describes a complete workflow for the digital fabrication of complete dentures, starting from intraoral scans and with no physical casts; in addition, the presented workflow integrates partial and complete face scans in the design process to optimize tooth arrangement.
