Edentulism has been a severe public health problem in industrialized countries due to aging and poor oral care. Design and fabrication of the complete dentures are mainly using conventional methods involving an enormous series of clinical and laboratory procedures. Edentulous patients have to make several visits to the clinic for the traditional fabrication of denture. Now the unceasing developments occur over several years. Present-day technological innovations allow the use of various systems with computer?aided design/computer?aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) technology to produce complete dentures has seen exponential growth. There are different manufacturing techniques of CAD-CAM complete denture like AvaDent, Wieland digital denture, Baltic denture, DENTC system. CAD-CAM technology requires only two appointments for the patient to get their complete removable denture. A reduction in clinical chair time also shortens the cost of care. The improved fit of the denture was because of fewer processing errors. It simplifies the re-manufacturing of lost/broken prostheses due to the digital storage of denture data. The pre-polymerized acrylic resin used by manufacturers for the fabrication of a denture base delivers excellent fit and strength when compared to conventionally processed bases. It doesnt show any polymerization shrinkage as there is a less residual monomer. Hence, it reduces the potential infections as fewer candida albicans attach to the denture bases. The motive of this article is to highlights the benefits of CAD-CAM technology over conventional denture fabrication.
