Abstract: With the improvement of living standards, patients' demand for restoration during the tooth loss period has been increasing. Early complete denture restoration after full-arch tooth extraction can avoid functional impairments and social embarrassment caused by prolonged tooth loss. However, the production process of traditional complete denture is complicated, requires frequent follow-up visits, and limits its application. Digital technology can simplify operational steps, shorten the diagnosis and treatment time, and preserve the occlusion and vertical dimension before tooth extraction, significantly enhancing the clinical feasibility of early complete dentures. This case report aims to utilize digital technology to fabricate early complete dentures by preserving patients' original occlusion relationship before tooth extraction, so as to effectively maintain occlusion, occlusion vertical dimension, and facial support during the healing of extraction sockets. This approach adds a humanistic touch to the treatment of complete dentures for patients with dentition defects.
