This clinical report focuses on the production of a 3-dimensionally printed definitive cast by using digital scans to fabricate an obturator prosthesis for a completely edentulous patient with a maxillary defect. A merged intraoral scanner image of the soft tissue anatomy of maxillary structures with volumetric data of the craniofacial hard and soft tissues obtained from a cone beam computed tomography scan was used to generate a virtual cast, producing the polyurethane definitive cast manufactured by using a 3-dimensional printer.
本临床报告重点介绍了通过数字扫描制作 3 维打印最终模型的过程,为上颌骨缺损的全口无牙患者制作了覆盖义齿修复体。采用合并的上颌结构软组织解剖口内扫描仪图像和从锥形束 CT 扫描获得的颅面硬组织和软组织容积数据,生成虚拟模型,使用 3 维打印机制造出聚氨酯最终模型。
