Functionally suitable digital removable complete dentures: A dental technique.

This article describes a technique for fabricating removable complete dentures by using digital technology which aims to produce an individually designed, diagnostic, complete denture. This technology could reduce the number of appointments compared with traditional complete denture treatment and has a wide range of applications for different types of edentulous patients, including those with severe resorption of the alveolar ridge or a high occlusal force. Furthermore, the low cost of 3D printers, compared with expensive milling machines, may make the approach more accessible.
