Abstract

Extreme residual ridge resorption is a challenging clinical situation for the fabrication of complete dental prostheses. Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) complete dentures have been shown to have superior fit and material strength to conventionally fabricated dentures, but no clinical protocols have been described for cases of extreme residual ridge resorption. This report describes a workflow combining conventional and novel techniques for CAD/CAM complete dentures fabrication for atrophic alveolar ridges and demonstrates that a CAD/CAM workflow is an effective tool for solving this complex situation.
