Abstract

The development of digital technologies in dentistry has changed the therapeutic approach in edentulous patients both in the preliminary stages of clinical case studies and when supporting the actual fabrication phases. The goals of digital fabrication are to reduce the number of patient appointments and improve the predictability of treatment outcome. A thorough description of a complex clinical case analyzes how these new digital technologies are used in every step of the prosthetic therapy to perform the reconstruction of a bar retained overdenture
