  • Title: Digital workflow to produce esthetic space maintainers for growing patients.
    Author: Rodrigues LP, Dourado PHN, de Araújo CAR, No-Cortes J, Pinhata-Baptista OH.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 2024 May; 131(5):800-803. PubMed ID: 35431028.
    Abstract:
    Digital workflows have been used to enhance the predictability of oral rehabilitations. However, techniques to digitally design and manufacture esthetic space maintainers by following a prosthetically driven treatment plan for young patients are lacking. This technique report describes a full digital workflow to produce computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) esthetic space maintainers by using intraoral scans, a dental CAD software program, and a milling machine. CAD-CAM space maintainers can be provided for young patients with satisfactory patient compliance and with minimal chairside adjustment.
