Workflow to facilitate complete denture scanning with an intraoral scanner: A technique report

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Scanning a denture with an intraoral scanner is typically more challenging than scanning a dentate arch. This article describes a novel technique for digitally duplicating a complete denture. The workflow involves scanning an existing denture using an intraoral scanner with the addition of specific markers and subsequently constructing a digital denture by smoothing out these markers. This protocol may enhance the efficiency and accuracy of the scanned data and requires only minimal processing using an open-source software program.
