Demographers agree that the so-called elderly population will increase steadily in the future. Not only will their numbers increase, but they will live to an older age. In the case of fully edentulous patients, implant treatment is a possibility, but for many, rehabilitation by means of full removable dentures is still the preferred option. In recent decades, computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) has brought about what can only be described as a revolution in dental offices and dental laboratories. CAD/CAM has many areas of application, and these are constantly increasing. In response to the growing demand from users, CAD/CAM can now produce sets of complete removable dentures using a virtual design and fabrication process. A protocol for a new CAD/CAM-supported method is presented here in a clinical case report. Laboratory procedures are simplified because a number of the conventional steps have now disappeared. Today, it is possible to design the shape of the teeth for each patient, which results in a better customization of the dentures. Combined with appropriate staining of the teeth and denture base, this method produces full removable dentures that integrate very well into the patient's face to ensure a good esthetic result.
人口统计学家一致认为，所谓的老年人口在未来将稳步增加。不仅他们的数量会增加，而且他们会活得更久。对于全口无牙患者来说，种植治疗是一种选择，但对许多人来说，通过全口可摘义齿进行修复仍然是首选方案。近几十年来，计算机辅助设计/计算机辅助制造（CAD/CAM）在牙科诊所和牙科实验室带来了一场堪称革命的变革。CAD/CAM有许多应用领域，而且这些领域还在不断增加。为了满足用户日益增长的需求，CAD/CAM现在可以通过虚拟设计和制造流程生产全口可摘义齿套装。本文通过一个临床病例报告介绍了一种新的CAD/CAM支持方法的方案。由于许多传统步骤现已消失，实验室操作得以简化。如今，能够为每位患者设计牙齿形状，这使得义齿的定制效果更好。结合对牙齿和义齿基托进行适当染色，这种方法制作出的全口可摘义齿能很好地融入患者面部，确保美观效果良好。
