Digital complete denture fabrication in an edentulous patient utilizing Exocad and additive manufacturing: A case report.

Abstract Digital denture fabrication has become a transformative approach in prosthodontics, significantly improving accuracy, efficiency, and patient outcomes. This case report outlines the rehabilitation of a completely edentulous patient using a fully digital workflow involving Exocad Computer aided designing (CAD) software and 3D printing. The patient presented to Buddha Institute of Dental Sciences and Hospital, Patna, with edentulism of two years’ duration and no significant medical history. A digital impression was obtained, and the denture was designed using Exocad, followed by additive manufacturing using a 3D printer. The final prosthesis demonstrated excellent fit, occlusion, and esthetics with minimal adjustments. This case highlights the potential of digital workflows as a viable alternative to conventional methods in the rehabilitation of edentulous patients.
