CAD-CAM technique based digital diagnosis and fixed partial denture treatment on maxillary congenital missing teeth with skeletal class III tendency patient: A case report

The development of digital technology is causing great changes in dentistry. This digital workflow combines various 3D data in the prosthetic treatment area for diagnosis and prosthetic manufacturing. The planned diagnosis and the fabrication of prosthesis in a virtual patient formed by synthesizing digital data can simulate the results of prosthetic treatment more intuitively than conventional methods, thereby increasing the predictability of aesthetic prosthetic treatment. In this case report, functionally and aesthetically satisfied clinical results were obtained by fabricating a fixed partial dentures through a digital workflow on congenital missing teeth in the maxillary anterior region.
