| description | This review article comprehensively discusses the various treatment protocols and fabrication methods for complete digital dentures and focuses on systematic classification of the techniques introduced in the literature. The treatment protocols are based on conventional procedures, highlighting the areas where digital technologies can be utilized and their advantages. Particularly, it emphasizes the benefits of overcoming time and spatial limitations, along with advantages of permanent data storage. The limitations of digital technologies and potential solutions are also addressed. Current methods and alternatives for patient information acquisition, a common concern among many dentists, are presented. The fabrication methods are categorized into two main manufacturing techniques: milling and three-dimensional (3D) printing. Under the premise of advanced milling technology and limited printing capabilities, their advantages, disadvantages, and applications are compared. Novel hybrid technologies combining both methods are introduced, including challenging aspects of metal framework integration. By examining the complete digital denture fabrication and treatment process from start to finish, this article aims to discuss the present and future of digitally integrated treatment methods. |
