Full digital workflow for duplication of an implant retained overdenture - a novel approach
This case demonstrates the replacement of an existing dentures using a novel, simple method of fully digital copy denture technique.
Treatment provider: Dr. Theodoros Tasopoulos
Solutions used: 3Shape TRIOS 4 intraoral scanner, 3Shape Dental System
The case demonstrates the advantages of the digital workflow which include denture design files easily replicated and IO scanning of edentulous patients with 3Shape TRIOS
PREVIEW OF THE CASE
The advantages of the digital workflow as demonstrated in this case and according to Dr. Tasopoulos:
A duplicate of the patient’s existing prosthesis IO scanned and 3D printed
Alignment of pre-preparation and final impression scan using 3-point method available in 3Shape Dental System
A cost effectively produced milled monoblock try in copy denture (ProArt CAD try in/Ivoclar Digital)
The laboratory now has an STL file of the milled denture. The overdenture can be replicated at any time.
