Digital technologies have become an integral part of complete denture restoration. With advancement in computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM), tools such as intraoral scanning, facial scanning, 3D printing, and numerical control machining are reshaping the workflow of complete denture restoration. Unlike conventional methods that rely heavily on clinical experience and manual techniques, digital technologies offer greater precision, predictability, and efficacy. They also streamline the process by reducing the number of patient visits and improving overall comfort. Despite these improvements, the clinical application of digital complete denture restoration still faces challenges that require further standardization. The major issues include appropriate case selection, establishing consistent digital workflows, and evaluating long-term outcomes. To address these challenges and provide clinical guidance for practitioners, this expert consensus outlines the principles, advantages, and limitations of digital complete denture technology. The aim of this review was to offer practical recommendations on indications, clinical procedures and precautions, evaluation metrics, and outcome assessment to support digital restoration of complete denture in clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate the characteristics of brachyfacial types in adolescents with class Ⅱ~1 division 1 malocclusions by comparing with normal patterns.Methods 32 parameters were evaluated in pretreatment lateral cephalograms of 60 brachyfacial type adolescents,including 30 boys and 30 girls,aged from 11 to 13 years,with class Ⅱ~1 division 1 malocclusions(distal moral relationship,ANB>5°,Go-Gn-SN>28°).Results There was a remarkable increase in SNA,ANB,upper incisor inclination (U1-NA),U1-L1/N-Me and Me-L1/N-Me,so was lip protrusion of soft tissue facial profile(NB-Pg'-Ls);the lower sulcus depth(Si-Pg'-Ls)and the lower lip thickness(Li-L1).Mandibular plane(Go-Gn-SN),OP-MP,OP-FH,U1-L1,anterior lower facial height(ANS-Me),anterior lower facial height/anterior facial height(ANS-Me/N-Me),anterior lower facial height/posterior lower facial height (ALFH/PLFH)and mandibular length(B'-J')were significantly decreased.Conslusions Brachyfacial type in adolescents with class Ⅱ'division 1 malocclusions is characterized by decreased anterior lower facial height,increased posterior lower facial height,clockwise rotation of the palatal plane,anticlockwise rotation of the occlusion plane and mandibular plane,deepen overbite,soft tissue protrusive profiles with upper lip protrusion,crimpled lower lip and retracted chin.
