Fabrication of a nonmetal clasp denture supported by an intraoral scanner and CAD-CAM

Abstract This clinical report describes the management of a patient who had a metal allergy and had difficulty sitting in a dental chair for an extended period. The presented treatment used an intraoral scanner and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) to fabricate a nonmetal clasp denture. The described procedure may reduce patient discomfort and chair-time.
