Guided tooth preparation device fabricated with a complete digital workflow: A dental technique

Digital Workflow for the Design, Manufacture, and Application of Custom-Made Short Implants With Wing Retention Device

“…With the development of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM), new treatments have been introduced into dentistry ( Taha et al, 2021 ). By analyzing and exporting CBCT data, a 3D resin model of bone reconstruction and a piece of implant guide plate that could accurately locate the implantation position were printed.…”

Digital guided veneer preparation: A dental technique

“…12 When executing minimal invasive tooth preparations freehand, excessive tooth removal may occur, exceeding the minimal thickness for the restorative material. 11 The presented digital workflow enhances the precision of tooth preparation, limiting the tooth structure removal to the minimal thickness required for the definitive restorations (Fig. 8) with a predictable protocol.…”

“…8,9 The digital guides are designed and fabricated accordingly. 10,11 However, reports of digital guided tooth preparation indexes are sparse. 12,13 Commercially available digital guided tooth preparation systems allow veneer preparation with 3-dimensional (3D)-printed guides for tooth reduction based on the trial restorations and the positioning of the definitive veneers during the preparation appointment.…”

A fully digital workflow for the design and manufacture of a class of metal orthodontic appliances

“…In dentistry, digital processes have been utilized in the manufacture of oral and maxillofacial surgical guides, precise orthodontics, periodontal surgeries, and dentures [ [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] ]. The digital processing procedures, which include intraoral scanning for data acquisition, object design, and three-dimensional (3D) printing, have been shown to improve the predictability of dental procedures [ 20 , 21 ]. In addition, they require fewer clinical appointments, optimize preclinical corrective instruments, introduce a higher level of standardization, and eliminate the shortcomings of traditional techniques [ 22 , 23 ].…”
