DIGITAL DATA ACQUISITION FOR A CAD/CAM-FABRICATED TITANIUM FRAMEWORK AND ZIRCONIUM OXIDE RESTORATIONS FOR AN IMPLANT-SUPPORTED FIXED COMPLETE DENTAL PROSTHESIS

摘要

This dental technique report describes a digital workflow with digital data acquisition at the implant level, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing fabricated, tissue-colored, anodized titanium framework, individually luted zirconium oxide restorations, and autopolymerizing injection-molded acrylic resin to fabricate an implant-supported, metal-ceramic-resin fixed complete dental prosthesis in an edentulous mandible. The 1-step computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing fabrication of titanium framework and zirconium oxide restorations can provide a cost-effective alternative to the conventional metal-resin fixed complete dental prosthesis.
