Practical Digital Complete Dentures (September 2026)
 24th – 26TH september 2026
Course Learning Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
1. Understanding di erent impression protocol or data aquisition for digital CD.
2. Di erentiate between subtractive (milling) and additive (3D printing) manufacturing for complete dentures.
3. Execute accurate intraoral scanning protocols for edentulous arches and existing prostheses.
4. Navigate CAD software to design a practical base-and-tooth bonded denture.
5. Calibrate 3D printers and select appropriate biocompatible resins for longterm clinical use.
6. Perform post-processing techniques, including washing, curing, and characterization (staining) for high-level esthetics.
I. Fundamental of Complete Denture
• Anatomical landmark, denture boundary, pressure VS non-pressure impression technique.
II. The Digital Shift: Why 3D Print?
• Comparison of clinical outcomes: 3D printed vs. conventional heat-cured dentures.
• Material science: Understanding MMA-free resins and their mechanical properties.
• The “Copy Denture” vs. “New Denture” workflow.
III. Data Acquisition & Clinical Steps
• Intraoral scanning techniques for the edentulous ridge (The “Mucostatic” Challenge).
Capturing Maxillo-Mandibular Relationship (MMR) using conventional and modified wax rim.
IV. Design & Manufacturing
• Introduction to CAD software (3Shape).
• Nesting and slicing: Orientation strategies to minimize support marks on critical surfaces.
• Post-processing: The critical role of nitrogen-saturated curing for biocompatibility.
• Denture characterization, staining.
Task 1 — The Digital Impression (Hands-On)
Activity: Participants will use an intraoral scanner on edentulous models and bite registration
Goal: Achieve a “green” scan (full coverage) of the hamular notches and retromolar pads within a 5-minute window.
Task 2 — CAD Design Simulation
Activity: Using a provided dataset, participants will:
• Define the denture base periphery.
• Perform a virtual “Trial Placement” (Tooth Arrangement).
• Adjust the occlusion for various schemes.
Task 3 — Printing & Post-Processing
Activity: Live demonstration of nesting software.
Goal: Participants will practice removing supports from a pre-printed denture base and perform “wet-bonding” of the teeth to the base using a light-cure resin.
Task 4 — Esthetic Characterization
Activity: Applying gingival staining kits to the 3D-printed base.
Goal: Create realistic gingival architecture and transition zones.
