Digital dentures or 3D printed dentures
What are digital dentures?
The two largest companies offering digital dentures right now are Pala dentures and AvaDent. They can be 3D printed or CAD CAM.
Why digital dentures?
3D printing and milling in theory should create the most accurate fit. The hold up is still getting a digital impression of the soft tissue, especially in the movable areas.
Research on digital dentures
Pack and press, pour, injection and CAD-CAM were compared using AvaDent to check for accuracy. Overall the CAD CAM was the most consistent, but not in all areas. Goodacre 2016 JPD
