Abstract

The aim of this review article was to investigate the use of computer aided design in the creation of removable dentures. In the past few years CAD-CAM has drawn interest of many people. This article provides a comprehensive, critical, and objective analysis of the current knowledge of CDs and related technology. Patients' experience has been acknowledged as a critical dimension of healthcare quality alongside thier safety and clinical effectiveness. However, patients' experiences in complete removable denture wearing have not been well established qualitatively. This review synthesizes qualitative studies that investigated the experiences of people wearing removable dentures in order to gain a deeper understanding of the issues and their causes. This study is an access to existing literature concerning 3D-printed complete dentures, covering aspects like innovative biomaterials, manufacturing methods and processes, workflow, and clinical effectiveness. A total of forty studies were included alond with an appraisal of abstracts, and finally a selection of articles for rigorous textual analysis. This article concludes that CAD/CAM technology continues to transform an impact on denture fabrication, promising improved patient care and efficiency in dental practice.
