Application of Digital Technology in Prosthetic Rehabilitation of Maxillary Defects

doi:10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2024.05.002

Abstract

Abstract: Maxillary defects are a serious health hazard in dentistry and may cause some physical and psychological disorders in patients. Traditional maxillary defects are complex and technically sensitive. With the development and application of digital technology in the field of dentistry, the rehabilitation of maxillary defects has shown significant advantages. This paper briefly introduces the treatment process of the prosthetic rehabilitation of maxillary defects and provides a review of the application of digital technology in prosthetic restorations from three aspects, i.e. three-dimensional data acquisition, digital design, and digital manufacturing.

Key words: maxillary defect, prosthesis, digital technique, three-dimensional model
