When have you seen "dentures" and "innovation" appear in the same sentence? Digitally scanned, designed and milled dentures are generating attention and excitement by virtualizing most steps of the fabrication process using conventional principles that all dentists know without any additional investment from the dentist or dental office. Creating great removable prostheses requires a basic understanding of making great denture impressions and obtaining proper records, regardless of the method (conventional vs. digital). Our students are fulfilling another objective in their prosthodontic education by completing at least one digitally fabricated denture during their tenure at Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine.
