Abstract:
Application of digital technology in dental treatments can simplify the treatment process and reduce patient discomfort. In regards of digital complete dentures, several commercial systems are available. However, these systems are not being routinely applied in Korea. In this case report, comparative analyses were performed regarding the two sets of complete dentures fabricated in digital and conventional workflow in a single patient. Complete dentures made with digital workflow were able to form an ideal occlusion because customized teeth were used. Compared to that, there were also limitations such as lower retention of mandibular dentures, so we would like to report this.
