Abstract

Computer-aided design–computer-aided manufacturing technology has been widely used in the manufacture of fixed prostheses including implants, but in the case of removable dentures, the analog method is still being used due to the errors such as a lack of fusion and over-fusion in selective laser meting process. With the recent development of CAD software, virtual surveying and framework design are made possible, and the designed file can be manufactured by milling or 3D printing. It replace the analog method of waxing and denture curing process and also can reduce the production time and cost. Therefore, this case is reported because good clinical results were obtained by digitally surveying on CAD software to produce a surveyed metal restoration and framework on maxillary and mandibular removable dentures.
