Design And Digital Fabrication Technique of a Hybrid Framework - A Literature Review

Abstract

Hybrid dentures consist of one of the most popular options in the fixed restoration of the edentulous arch. For a successful and durable prosthesis it is of utmost importance to pay good attention to the design and fabrication of such implant frameworks. Conventionally the framework was fabricated using traditional metal casting. However, with the advent of digital dentistry CAD CAM frameworks have become popular and their fabrication much easier and efficient.With a focus on design of implant frameworks and the digital fabrication process of hybrid dentures, the goal of this study was to summarise the pertinent literature in this area.In conclusion, hybrid dentures seem like a viable treatment option when designed correctly and CAD CAM technique seems like a popular and efficient technique to do so.
