Abstract

Abstract : The virtual planning process starts with an accurate capture of a patient’s edentulous impressions using 3D intraoral scanners .1In addition to the reduced chair time for patients, digital dentistry allows for the storage of electronic data, enabling technicians to precisely duplicate a denture in a matter of hours. Furthermore, variability in quality can be minimized .The scanned impressions are stored in STL format and a 3D printed model is prepared using Ackuretta 3D Printer with laser sintering with QuraBASE (methacrylate based photopolymerised resin) and with each layer printing thickness of 100µ .The Denture base is cleansed with 95% ethyl alcohol ,the teeth are separately designed and light cured to the space in the denture base and finished .2 A disadvantage of a fully digital approach is the lack of a wax try-in.
