CAD-CAM of elastic plugs with multilayer porous channels following 3D construction of jaw cyst-mucosa-dentition after decompression: A dental technique.

Abstract

This technique involves intraoral scanning of the dentition, open occlusal cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) of the jaw cyst, and digital data from the recording of the decompression window and adjacent teeth to construct 3-dimensional (3D) images of the jaw cyst-mucosa-dentition after decompression. Following the digital design of the crown, clasp arms, and multilayer porous channels, a plug with good retention, adequate drainage, and high patient satisfaction was digitally printed with elastic resins in a single visit.
