Title: “Digital Workflow in Maxillofacial Prosthodontics: An Insight”
ABSTRACT
From its inception to now dentistry has made its way covering great milestones in terms of invention and precision to provide us with better working conditions and increased comfort for both clinicians and patients. To add up, is the remarkable innovation: CAD-CAM technology, which allow the dentists to provide a better and quality care to their patients. While restoring a facial defect the prosthesis should ideally be customized to put back the anatomy as accurately as possible. This process is difficult and time consuming & demands a high level of artistic skill to form a mirror image & achieve a good aesthetic match. The present time evolution of CAD/CAM is focused on methodical and swift integration and automation of the elements of design and manufacturing along with the development of new algorithms. This article reviews the development and availability of various digital technologies for the designing and manufacturing of different maxillofacial prostheses.
