Abstract
Objective: Provisional removable partial denture (RPD) preserves esthetic and functional parameters until definitive treatment. This clinical report presents a 19-year-old victim of a road traffic accident who lost the maxillary right central and lateral incisors.
Clinical considerations: A 3D printed maxillary provisional RPD planned using a virtual patient was provided until the patient could undergo implant-supported rehabilitation. Intraoral and facial scans were conducted, and the images were integrated into a dental software program for digital prosthetic planning. The provisional RPD was designed considering the facial parameters, then 3D printed, characterized, and delivered to the patient.
Conclusions: The 3D printed provisional RPD demonstrated satisfactory esthetic and functional outcomes, offering a faster and more predictable alternative compared to the conventional method.
Clinical significance: Using virtual patients to design 3D printed provisional removable partial dentures can enhance the predictability of treatment, especially in the esthetic area.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry (JERD) is the longest standing peer-reviewed journal devoted solely to advancing the knowledge and practice of esthetic dentistry. Its goal is to provide the very latest evidence-based information in the realm of contemporary interdisciplinary esthetic dentistry through high quality clinical papers, sound research reports and educational features.
The range of topics covered in the journal includes:
- Interdisciplinary esthetic concepts
- Implants
- Conservative adhesive restorations
- Tooth Whitening
- Prosthodontic materials and techniques
- Dental materials
- Orthodontic, periodontal and endodontic esthetics
- Esthetics related research
- Innovations in esthetics
