The copy denture technique

Scan all the surfaces

Align all scans

Align the pre-preparation and final impression scans, using the 3-point method in 3Shape Dental System.

Produce

Produce a cost-effective, milled monoblock try-in copy denture (ProArt CAD try-in/Ivoclar Digital).

Keep the file

Now the doctor has an STL file of the milled denture, so the overdenture can be replicated at any time.
