Fully digital workflow for replicating treatment dentures: A technique for jaw relation transfer and dynamic occlusal adjustment

Abstract

This technique report presents a novel method of digitally replicating a treatment denture and converting it into a definitive denture. The procedure accurately duplicates the appearance of the mucosal surface and border of the treatment dentures, mounts the jaw relation on a virtual articulator to arrange artificial teeth, and optimizes the occlusion based on recorded mandibular motion tracks. This technique uses personalized jaw relation transfer and dynamic occlusal adjustment to establish balanced occlusion, which accomplishes the digital duplication of the treatment denture with high accuracy and minimal effort.
