This study explores the application of computer-aided design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) to the process of electronically surveying a scanned dental cast as a prior stage to producing a sacrificial pattern for a removable partial denture (RPD) metal alloy framework. These are designed to retain artificial replacement teeth in the oral cavity. A cast produced from an impression of a patient's mouth was digitally scanned and the data converted to a three-dimensional computer file that could be read by the computer-aided design (CAD) software. Analysis and preparation were carried out in the digital environment according to established dental principles. The CAD software was then used to design the framework and generate a standard triangulation language (STL) file in preparation for its manufacture using rapid prototyping (RP) methods. Several RP methods were subsequently used to produce sacrificial patterns, which were then cast in a chromium-cobalt alloy using conventional methods and assessed for accuracy of fit. This work demonstrates that CAD/CAM techniques can be used for electronic dental cast analysis, preparation, and design of RPD frameworks. It also demonstrates that RP-produced patterns may be successfully cast using conventional methods and that the resulting frameworks can provide a satisfactory fit.

The aim of this case report is to describe the combining of a surgical guide with a temporary restoration to streamline the implant process. A 54-year-old male patient presenting partial edentulism underwent computer-aided template-guided implant placement for the replacement of the missing upper second right incisor. The presented technique was used during the surgical procedures; it introduced the integration of a surgical guide into the temporary fixed partial denture. Using computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing technology and virtual implant planning, a temporary-implantation fixed partial denture was constructed, and a guidance sleeve was implemented into it. The implant bed preparation was then performed using the bridge as a surgical guide. After osteotomy, the guidance sleeve within the bridge was sealed, and the bridge was temporarily incorporated for submerged healing of the implant. The usage of a temporary restoration as a surgical guide seems to make the digital workflow of guided implant placement more efficient, by achieving a representative clinical outcome.

Severe forms of attrition are frequently found in patients with no or insufficient posterior occlusal support. Management of such patients using fixed or removable prostheses is a complex procedure and is still a challenge for clinicians. The present clinical report describes step by step full mouth rehabilitation of a patient with severely worn dentition using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing- (CAD/CAM-) generated wax patterns, milled zirconia frameworks, and fabrication of removable partial denture (RPD) abutments using a digital-conventional method. The results were satisfactory during 18 months of follow-up.
