Use of CAD-CAM technology for the fabrication of complete dentures: An alternative technique

In Vitro Evaluation of Adhesion of Candida albicans on CAD/CAM PMMA‐Based Polymers

“…Contemporary technological advancements in digital dentistry have enabled the introduction of new materials that improve mechanical and biological characteristics for clinical usage. Recently, in order to produce digital complete dentures with computer‐assisted design/computer‐assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)‐based polymers were presented by manufacturers as an alternative to conventional heat‐polymerized PMMA . CAD/CAM PMMA‐based materials have different chemical structures, mechanical properties, and polymerization techniques.…”

[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] CAD/CAM PMMA-based materials have different chemical structures, mechanical properties, and polymerization techniques. Highly crossed-linked PMMA-based polymers are industrially polymerized under standardized conditions at high temperature and pressure.…”

“…The conventional techniques for complete dentures manufacturing have not significantly changed in the past fifty years [3]. The use of CAD-CAM technology in removable prosthodontics encompassed significant improvements by reducing the number of appointments [4], improving fit/retention [5] and electronic archiving of denture design for an easy reproducibility [6].…”

“…Clinical adjustments can be made if needed. Yilmaz argues for the advantages of monoblock dentures: reduced risks for teeth fractures and material shrinkage (Yilmaz et al, 2017).…”
