The introduction of computer-aided manufacturing technologies and further developments have changed the routine workflow in dentistry, and dentists are now rapidly shifting from conventional to digital. As a result, intra-oral scanners have become a standard device in dental clinics even though they have a considerable cost. One of the important reasons of this digital transition is to ensure standardized-quality manufacturing with a shorter chair time, which is promised by complete digital workflow. So, what does complete digital workflow mean for dentistry? This review elaborately answers to this question and summarizes the stages of complete digital workflow in dental applications.

Metal alloys have been used for many years as framework material of dental restorations. The conventional lost-wax and casting method, which was very popular in fabrication of metal frameworks, are now being replaced by computer-aided manufacturing technologies. Computer-aided manufacturing methods offer many advantages, such as standardization and quality in manufacturing, precise fit of restorations, and improved mechanical strength. Digital technologies used in fabrication of metal frameworks are simply classified as subtractive and additive computer-aided manufacturing systems, and each have their own subdivisions, which show differences in the used technology. This review summarizes computer-aided systems used in fabrication of metal frameworks in terms of use in dental practice, advantages, disadvantages and provides clinical recommendations.

Every day, modern dentistry faces with new technologies, which have begun to be used in daily clinical practice, and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing has brought new technologies and opportunities to all fields of dentistry. The first step is acquiring the true data, which belongs to the patients, digitalization of intraoral structures. By acquiring these data, the restorations can be designed and fabricated by using digital workflow. Dentists have two main options for capturing the data from the related surfaces; one is the direct digitalization and the other one is the indirect digitalization process. In the indirect process, extraoral scanners, which are called lab scanners or cast scanners, are used. Every system has different advantages and disadvantages, and the clinicians or dental technicians should know the technology and different features of these devices to choose the optimal device for their workflow.

Opening And Closing

Improvements in computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing technologies have led to multiple attempts being made to simplify and improve the workflow of prosthesis fabrication for completely edentulous patients. However, most attempts still involve the conventional methods of impression-making and recording the maxillomandibular relationships using alginate, rubber impression materials, and wax materials. In the case of a completely edentulous arch, the presence of movable tissues and the absence of stable landmarks make it difficult to perform direct digitization using an intraoral scanner and to digitally determine the vertical dimension. In the alternative technique described herein, data are obtained by scanning a template such as the patient’s existing old dentures and jaw movement data using target materials and an optical scanner, and an appropriate maxillomandibular relationship that has the desired restorative space is determined on the basis of the obtained trajectory of mandibular movements while opening and closing the mouth. After designing dentures on the basis of the newly established maxillomandibular relationships and performing a try-in process, the final dentures can be manufactured. This alternative technique can reduce the need for multiple visits and complex procedures, improving the workflow for fabricating prostheses with the correct maxillomandibular relationships for individual patients.
