Digital Prosthetic Rehabilitation for A Paediatric Patient Using CAD-CAM Fabricated PMMA Crown- A Case Report.
Year: 2026
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Aim: Crowns apply to primary teeth with extensive caries, cervical decalcification, developmental defects, interproximal caries extending beyond line angles, and following pulpotomy or pulpectomy. Background description: 3D-milled polymethylmethacrylate (P-PMMA) crowns, which offer apperceptive and marginal adaptation. Advancements in CAD/CAM glass-ceramic crowns have expanded their use in Aesthetic dentistry. Case description: This case report illustrates a clinical use of computer-aided design and manufacturing technology (CAD/CAM) for the fabrication of a crown for a decayed primary molar using a study model as a reference. The material used was a hybrid ceramic CAD/CAM block. Conclusion: This approach has the advantage of the customisation of the abutment tooth in contrast to previously mentioned pre-fabricated options.
