Popis: The purpose of our study was to develop a computer aided system for designing and fabricating removable dentures (CAD/CAM system). In our newly developed system, anatomicaland morphological information of denture space including edentulous residual alveolar ridges andsurrounding tissues were obtained from a maxillomandibular double impression mounted on a highspeed 3-D laser scanning machine. Artificial teeth arrangements, outline of polished surface, anddenture border location were determined at a work station by means of the database of a standarddenture fabrication. Then 3-D data established at the work station was transferred to a 3-D laserlithography machine and a mandibular complete denture was fabricated with photo-cured resinmaterial.
