Application of CAD-CAM technology in the reconstruction of anterior teeth with implant restorations affected by growth changes in young adults: A clinical report.

Anterior implant-supported restorations can be challenging, but for a patient undergoing growth and development changes, clinical resolution becomes complex and demanding. To achieve successful outcomes, multidisciplinary dental therapy is required to manage esthetic consequences while maintaining a minimally invasive approach. This clinical report describes a comprehensive treatment protocol to address and treat growth and development complications for an implant-supported prosthesis. By combining computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture technology and facially driven procedures, a predictable and favorable outcome was achieved.

Fabrication of facially guided CAD-CAM complete dentures: A dental technique.

An alternative protocol is presented to design computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) complete dentures and overdentures using a facially guided digital design. The facially guided design protocol with CAD-CAM facilitated communication between the clinician and dental laboratory technician. A monolithic denture and overdenture were fabricated guided by preliminary dentures with 3-dimensionally (3D) printed denture bases and milled wax teeth.
