Monolithic CAD/CAM Implant-Retained Overdentures: A Solution for Limited Restorative Space
Abdulrahman Almalki
TL;DR
This case report presents a new CAD/CAM method for creating implant-retained overdentures in patients with limited vertical space.
Contribution
A novel CAD/CAM approach for monolithic overdentures in limited restorative space is introduced.
Findings
A 6 mm vertical space was successfully used for an overdenture with CAD/CAM technology.
The solution optimized both function and esthetics in a constrained space.
CAD/CAM integration enabled a design not possible with traditional methods.
Abstract
This case report applies computer-aided design and computer-aided design manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology in fabricating an implant-retained monolithic overdenture for a patient with limited vertical restorative space. Traditionally, a vertical space of 9 to 12 mm is required for conventional overdentures; however, this patient presented with only 6 mm available. Through the integration of CAD/CAM, a novel solution was designed that optimized both function and esthetics within the constrained space.
