A Dental Outreach Community Service patient is rehabilitated with Dentca’s CAD/CAM dentures. The clinical and laboratory procedures offer the clinician another option for complete denture delivery that is both efficient and accurate. The expedited approach has a place with outreach dentistry, providing patients with form and function in a timely manner.
Outcomes
- The Dentca CAD/CAM approach seems to provide an efficient and accurate method for clinical procedures and denture fabrication of complete dentures.
- Although the method requires the clinician to work with a new procedural approach, the fundamentals of removable prosthodontics remains the same.
- The dentures appears to be a very high quality denture and accurate in terms of fit, retention, function, occlusion, esthetics and phonetics.
- The patient seemed to exhibit complete satisfaction with the delivered prosthesis, in both form and function.
