Most digitally fabricated removable dentures are currently available in resin only. To overcome this limitation, digitally fabricated dentures were designed by using a general purpose software program rather than a dental computer-aided design (CAD) software program. The functional cusps were made in metal and the denture base in resin with a 3-dimensional (3D) printer. The 2 outputs were combined to complete the metal-containing digitally fabricated dentures. The technique provides new possibilities for making a variety of digital dental prostheses.
目前,大多数数字化制作的可摘义齿仅采用树脂材料。为了克服这一限制,我们使用通用软件而非牙科 CAD 软件设计数字化义齿。功能性牙尖用金属制作,义齿基托用 3D 打印机制作树脂。这两个输出结果结合起来,就完成了含有金属的数字化义齿。该技术为制作各种数字化牙科修复体提供了新的可能性。
