Abstract
As digital dentistry technology is being developed, it is being used in various ways. This case covers how digital dentistry technology is being applied on the treatment of patients with loss of vertical dimension due to worn dentition and multiple loss of teeth. The loss of vertical dimension was carefully assessed and recovered, and implants were placed with surgical guides, designed considering the final restoration. The movement of the mandibular was measured with the electronic instrument for recording mandibular movement. Wax-up process was done with Naturgemäße Aufwachs-Technik (N.A.T.) and Natural functional reconstruction (N.F.R.). It was scanned, and the provisional restoration was fabricated using Computer-Aided-Design/Computer-Aided-Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, and the adjustment process was done at the clinic to meet with the satisfaction both functionally and esthetically, and then, using double scanning and CAD/CAM technology, it was carried out as a final restoration. As a result, the patient obtained satisfying results, utilizing the benefits of digital dentistry technology and traditional methods.
