Abstract
Application of digital technology in dental treatments can simplify the treatment
process and reduce patient discomfort. In regards of digital complete dentures,
several commercial systems are available. However, these systems are not be ing routinely applied in Korea. In this case report, comparative analyses were
performed regarding the two sets of complete dentures fabricated in digital and
conventional workflow in a single patient. Complete dentures made with digital
workflow were able to form an ideal occlusion because customized teeth were
used. Compared to that, there were also limitations such as lower retention of
mandibular dentures, so we would like to report this.
