Digital Workflow for Improved Accuracy and Efficiency in Developing a Diagnostic Wax-up for a Full Mouth Rehabilitation

Abstract

As we continue to progress into the digital age of dentistry, digital diagnostic wax-ups are becoming more prevalent and efficient. A technique is presented where a digital workflow was used to accomplish a prosthodontic full mouth diagnostic wax-up at an increased OVD. Three dimensional photography was used to ensure esthetic predictability and additive manufacturing to accurately transfer the wax-up to the analog articulator.
