Application of digital technology in maxillofacial prosthodontics

Abstract: Digital technology has transformed many aspects of dentistry. One focus of this transformation has been on maxillofacial prosthodontics. This discipline of prosthodontics is generally characterized by its uncomfortable procedures and need for high level of experience to tackle the various issues related to design and fabrication. Digital technology using scanners and CAD/CAM technology has allowed for increased options and more control during the various issues including for removable and facial prosthesis as well as implant placement. This presentation will discuss various examples of use of such technology and the workflow involved.
