dentulism has been a serious public health problem in industrialized
countries due to population ageing and in developing countries due to poor
oral care. The life quality and nutrition intake are impacted for edentulous
patients. Historically, the complete removable denture is the last prosthetic
procedure to switch to digital techniques. Computer-aided design and
Computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) has emerged as a new approach
for the design and fabrication of complete dentures. However, unlike the
extensive use of this new technology in other aspects of dentistry, the use of
CAD/CAM was limited in the production of complete dentures due to lack of
CAD software until recently. Several systems are now available including the
Wieland Digital Denture which offers a complete procedure. Virtual complete
dentures have been successfully designed using the software through several
steps including generation of 3D digital edentulous models, model analysis,
arrangement of artificial teeth, trimming of relief area and occlusal adjustment.
The practitioner’s role has been simplified. Removable denture design has
used the same classical procedures for more than fifty years despite their
being associated with many risks of errors and long laboratory and clinical
procedures. Thus the advantages of setting up a digital chain seemed obvious.
