Technical procedures for the fabrication of removable dentures

10 January 2024

A full removable denture is an extremely complex and unique treatment due to the anatomical and functional diversities that characterise completely edentulous patients (1–3). For this reason, this type of rehabilitation has always been a great challenge for both dentists and dental technicians (4,5). Although comprehension and the ability to communicate with the patient are […]

The conventional clinical phases for fabricating fixed prostheses on single implants

12 December 2023

An implant-supported prosthesis procedure consists in the selection, fabrication, positioning and rehabilitation of one or more missing teeth and their associated structures by means of dental implants. (1) More specifically, the fabrication of a fixed prosthesis on a single-tooth implant is referred to as an implant-supported crown. (1) In cases where a single tooth is […]

Clinical procedures for the fabrication of removable dentures

11 December 2023

A full removable denture is one of the most complex and diverse treatments that can be encountered in clinical and technical settings (1–3). The differences between completely edentulous patients, the different types of osteo-mucosal resorption that can occur and the incongruence between the maxillary bones and neuromuscular control make treatment with full removable dentures extremely […]

Fixed prostheses supported by multiple implants: technical procedures for fabrication

14 November 2023

The literature provides ample evidence that the technical procedure for the fabrication of fixed prostheses supported by multiple implants are fundamental phases for determining the success of restoration [1–3]. This article therefore analyses the technical procedures inherent to the fabrication of fixed prostheses supported by multiple implants, in order to clarify an area that is […]

Clinical procedures for fixed prostheses on multiple implants

6 October 2023

Implant-supported fixed prostheses include all those dental prostheses such as crowns, full-arch prostheses and partial prostheses, as well as maxillofacial prostheses, that are anchored to and entirely supported by dental implants [1]. Clinical and technical phases of the fabrication of multiple-implant prostheses The clinical and technical techniques for making multiple-implant prostheses consist of a series […]

From the practice to the laboratory: the importance of the dentist-technician relationship

3 October 2023

Today, high-quality, modern dentistry must afford time and workflow optimisation, while maintaining an outstanding quality level. For this to be possible, without burdening the organisational and economic dynamics of the practice, it is necessary to establish a flawless relationship between the clinical part and the dental laboratory part, i.e. the relationship between the dentist and […]
