Full-mouth rehabilitation of a patient with implant-supported fixed dental prostheses using CAD-CAM frameworks.

Conventional complete denture wearers often complain of lack of stability and overall discomfort with their prostheses. The advent of dental implants and advanced prosthetic methods have greatly improved this struggle for edentulous patients. The utilisation of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology has only further enhanced the capabilities of dental practitioners to rapidly and accurately restore edentulism. This report details the advantages of using CAD-CAM technology compared to analogue methods for titanium framework design and fabrication. It discusses the decrease in framework distortions, ease of communication with laboratories, and amount of time saved from the implementation of this technology. The results of this clinical report suggest that fixed dental prostheses with titanium frameworks fabricated using the software and scanner presented in this report fit accurately and may be a viable option to restore edentulous arches.
