Description
Summary:This technical report describes a workflow to fabricate an implant overdenture via digital duplication of an interim complete removable dental prosthesis and additive manufacturing (3D printing). An edentulous patient was provided with an interim maxillary denture after implant placement. After 4 months of healing, the existing interim denture was scanned, duplicated via 3D printing, and used to make the final impression, record the maxillomandibular interocclusal relationship, and transfer the esthetic information to the definitive implant overdenture. The framework of the implant overdenture was digitally designed and manufactured using a direct metal printing (DMP) system. This digital duplication workflow facilitated the implant overdenture fabrication with favorable clinical outcomes.
