A case study on 3D-printed dentures
Creating low-cost, functional dentures using a digital workflow and in-house printer
Get your dentures case study now
Learn how to use the digital workflow with in-house printing. In this case, by producing low-cost, interim dentures, both patient and doctor can find out in advance if the patient can tolerate the treatment.
The case in short:
The conventional method of obtaining impressions is replaced by 3Shape TRIOS intraoral scanning.
The scan files are sent for design and fabrication. The designs are approved and printed in-office.
The denture base and teeth are printed separately in-office for an initial trial placement. After approval, they are sent to Core3D for definitive manufacturing.
The doctor evaluates the digital denture workflow and its time savings, fewer patient visits, and efficient collaboration with partner laboratories.
