Due to demographic changes the proportion of elderly and very old, edentolous patients in need of care increases. More over, implant supported dentures are in many cases unfeasible for various reasons. Therefore, new time and costefficient strategies for manufacturing complete dentures are required. In this case report the Baltic Denture System, a new CAD/CAM process to manufacture complete dentures with standardized dental setups was tested. In the first appointment, a combi nation of functional impression as well as bite registration was carried out by means of specified registration devices, the BDKeys®. Subsequently, the relined and locked Upper and Low er Keys are transferred to the dental laboratory, digitized and the new dentures are milled from special blanks. In the second appointment the patient received the finished dentures. De spite some difficulties in the impression/registration step the patient was provided with very appealing new digital dentures. Thus, the Baltic Denture System might be an interesting new CAD/CAM alternative for manufacturing of complete dentures. |
