Cast-free fabrication of a digital removable partial denture with a polyetheretherketone framework.
2021
Abstract Digital workflows for removable partial dentures have enabled new machinable framework materials, including polyetheretherketone (PEEK). In addition, all denture components can be designed and manufactured digitally. Nonetheless, physical casts are still required for assembly of the components. The adoption of a cast-free fabrication procedure may enhance benefits, including a reduced number of procedures, faster processing, and reduced material waste. The purpose of this technical report was to demonstrate a workflow for the fabrication of a removable partial denture with a PEEK framework, milled teeth, and milled flanges, which uses intraoral scanning and no physical casts.
