Abstract
A technique is described to obtain a 3D-printed custom tray for complete dentures through open-source, free software and additive manufacturing. This approach enables the production of custom trays in a cost-effective and optimized manner. A three-dimensional (3D) digital cast is obtained by photogrammetry and later used to design a digital custom tray. Then, the digital custom tray is manufactured by a 3D printer to be used in clinical procedures. This technique is a clean, rapid, and low-cost alternative to the traditional technique.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Prosthodontics promotes the advanced study and practice of prosthodontics, implant, esthetic, and reconstructive dentistry. It is the official journal of the American College of Prosthodontists, the American Dental Association-recognized voice of the Specialty of Prosthodontics. The journal publishes evidence-based original scientific articles presenting information that is relevant and useful to prosthodontists. Additionally, it publishes reports of innovative techniques, new instructional methodologies, and instructive clinical reports with an interdisciplinary flair. The journal is particularly focused on promoting the study and use of cutting-edge technology and positioning prosthodontists as the early-adopters of new technology in the dental community.
