Due to the development of digital technologies, the modern concept of prosthetic-guided implantology is based on non-invasive surgical and restorative techniques. Computer-aided planning, computer-guided workup and computerguided surgery have largely ensured the predictability of the therapeutic outcome. This is supported by research data related to the frequency of implant therapy, according to which in the first half of 2020 there was an increase of 9.7%. However, anatomical limitations remain a challenge for the implant team. The most common problem related to implant therapy in edentulous patients is limited edentulous space in one or more spatial planes. Improving the design of surgical guides facilitates implantation in spatially limited and complex cases. By introducing interactive computed tomography into the field of implantology, a three-dimensional approach to every aspect of planning and implantation has become possible.
An immediate denture is a temporary or permanent removable denture fabricated in the presence of natural teeth. Patients diagnosed with periodontitis are usually indicated for this type of dentures. Fabrication according to the specific protocol can enhance functional, phonetic, and aesthetic rehabilitation immediately after tooth extraction. Laboratory procedures have few specificities in comparison to conventional complete dentures, but the most important one is trimming the cast according to previously examined periodontal status. Following the production protocol, it is possible to provide functional, phonetic and aesthetic rehabilitation of the patient immediately after tooth extraction. In addition, it is possible to achieve proper remodeling of the residual alveolar ridge owing to the direct contact of the denture base with the extraction wound during the consolidation period. The aim of this paper is to present clinical and laboratory procedures in the process of making immediate complete denture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
