Digital dentistry in pediatric rehabilitation: CAD/CAM printed polymethyl methacrylate crown

Pulpectomized primary teeth need full coverage restorations to restore function, maintain arch integrity and prevent secondary caries. Digital dentistry has significantly improved pediatric care by enabling metal-free, biomimetic restorations through intraoral scanning and CAD/CAM technology. An 8-year-old patient was diagnosed with chronic irreversible pulpitis w.r.t 75, a treatment plan was made as pulp therapy followed by milled polymethyl methacrylate crown (PMMA). Advanced digital technologies, including an intraoral scanner and CAD-CAM, were utilised in the process, making the process child-friendly. Milled PMMA crowns enables precise fit, allows comfort and helping positive experience for children. Signifying utility of digital technology.

Abstract

Pulpectomized primary teeth need full coverage restorations to restore function, maintain arch integrity and prevent secondary caries. Digital dentistry has significantly improved pediatric care by enabling metal-free, biomimetic restorations through intraoral scanning and CAD/CAM technology. An 8-year-old patient was diagnosed with chronic irreversible pulpitis w.r.t 75, a treatment plan was made as pulp therapy followed by milled polymethyl methacrylate crown (PMMA). Advanced digital technologies, including an intraoral scanner and CAD-CAM, were utilised in the process, making the process child-friendly. Milled PMMA crowns enables precise fit, allows comfort and helping positive experience for children. Signifying utility of digital technology.
