Title: Aesthetic treatment option for completely edentulous patients using CAD/CAM technology. Author: Kleinman A, Avendano S, Leyva F. Journal: Pract Proced Aesthet Dent; 2008 Apr; 20(3):185-91; quiz 192. PubMed ID: 18567487. Abstract: In recent years, advancements have been made in CAD/CAM technology that have allowed for the development of different treatments regarding the rehabilitation of patients with natural dentition, as well as patients with dental implants. Contemporary systems can also allow prosthetic rehabilitation for partially and completely edentulous patients. This article describes a restorative alternative to fixed implant-supported reconstruction of completely edentulous patients, utilizing a CAD/CAM-generated framework and CAD/CAM-generated all-ceramic cement-retained crowns. In addition to delivering an optimally aesthetic restoration, this design permits a precise and passive prosthetic fit.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
