Case of the week: Highlighting the CAD/CAM Denture Process

A close look at the CAD/CAM denture process - the technology that allows a patient to see whether they have an acceptable fit or need to re-impress after an impression is taken. Originally aired on Chairside Live episode 70

Oh wow!!
What can I say?
This is truly awesome advance in dentures. I'm impressed and so glad you're doing this for denture wearers. It's been long desired, and now finally here.
Great work you guys 😄

You guys should invite Dr. Di Tolla as a guest to the new show sometimes. Greetings from Chile, i'm a big fan of your work!

Hi I am a Clinical Dental Tech from down under. Why do you not re-scan the try and print a basal reduction base with the final set up and then take a wash impression and finish like a normal processed detnure?

i wonder if my dentist is sending mine to you guys, would love to see what you do personally

Lol at this being the future. We have a long way to go before that competes with a TRUE denture/flexible artist. Thankfully I learned old school and still have 30-40 years left to see how it plays out. Good work, I would love to have a real competition besides the panthera thing, based on patient satisfaction. A true Prosthetic Artist.

I really like the shade on this model.
If your teeth look “too real” and you spend time bragging about how they are fake you can make a positive change in other people’s lives

Hello I’m a lab tech and want to learn how to use cad cam. Where do I begin as in courses to take or any on the job experience that maybe available. Thanks!

[hazelblair]

is there any thing like this in Spain Malaga

[preston]

but you do have to do a wax rim. I thought doing this would save an appointment but it really doesn't.

There is no real advantage to this as opposed to a well made traditional technique denture...one major disadvantage is the cost of equipment often totalling around 100 thousand...and on top of that I can't see digital dentures equaling traditional techniques in fully balanced articulation, maybe in the future but for now the software doesn't even come close...another short fall is gum tinting, you can only use light cure gum tints which come off over a long way to go guys, save your money.

interesting idea, but a lot of verbal bullshit.
