Abstract

The CAD-CAM technique is a rapidly developing field in the dental field and is applied to various fields of prosthetic treatment. Among them, the manufacturing of dentures using the milling technique classified as subtractive manufacturing is one of the commercialized digital full denture manufacturing methods. At the same time, it is possible to more efficiently manufacture a metal framework for implant overdenture by selective laser sintering or melting technique classified as an additive manufacturing method. The purpose of this article is to describe the fabrication of CAD-CAM maxillary complete denture and mandibular implant overdenture as well as its features.
