Development of a digital fabrication device for the manufacture of removable dentures

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Digital technologies such as those used to manufacture complete removable dentures have become widely popular in the field of dentistry. The fabrication of an accurate, monolithic removable denture where the teeth and base are made using subtractive or additive technologies is crucial.

AIM: The aim of the current study was to develop a device that permits manufacture of removable dentures using digital technologies.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: The article describes modern methods of manufacturing complete removable dentures.

RESULTS: With the help of digital technologies, it was possible to obtain a monolithic prosthesis made of plastic, eliminating inaccuracies in the positioning of teeth during placement in the basis of the prosthesis, as well as to connect the basis of the prosthesis and teeth using acrylic plastic. Additionally, a brief description of the basic tools and materials necessary for this technique have also been provided.

CONCLUSION: The advantages of digitally manufacturing complete removable dentures include high accuracy, absence of overbite, high speed, and minimal shrinkage. These benefits allow us to conclude that the use of digital protocols for the manufacture of complete removable dentures is essential in order to achieve favorable treatment outcomes that meet the expectations of the doctor and the needs of the patient.
