Digital or CAD/CAM workflows and protocols are being increasingly utilized because of their improved efficiency and reproducibility. For the fabrication of complete dentures, digital workflows can reduce treatment time and clinical visits while enhancing the reliability and reproducibility of the laboratory phase and materials. However, establishing centric relation (CR) and vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) in a reproducible way is still a challenging step for complete denture fabrication in both analog and digital workflows. This clinical report describes a digital workflow using an individualized gothic arch tracing device (GATD) with open-source software for the fabrication of complete dentures. With this workflow, clinicians can offer customized solutions according to patient rehabilitation, with good reproducibility using gothic arch tracing to be implemented in the digital workflow.
由于其提高的效率和可重复性，数字或 CAD/CAM 工作流程和协议正被越来越多地使用。对于全口义齿的制作，数字工作流程可以减少治疗时间和临床就诊次数，同时提高实验室阶段和材料的可靠性和可重复性。然而，在模拟和数字工作流程中，以可重复的方式建立正中关系（centric relation，CR）和垂直距离（vertical dimension of occlusion，VDO）仍然是全口义齿制作的一个具有挑战性的步骤。本临床报告介绍了一种使用个体化哥特弓描记器（gothic arch tracing device，GATD）和开源软件的数字工作流程来制作全口义齿。使用这种工作流程，临床医生可以根据患者的康复情况提供定制解决方案，通过使用哥特弓描记来实现良好的可重复性，这在数字工作流程中得以实现。
