ABSTRACT
This JPD Digital video presentation presents the clinical treatment from start to finish in which a dual-shaded bi-coloured monolithic disk was used for the fabrication of an immediate digital complete denture followed by the delivery of a definitive digital complete denture. The treatment plan included extraction of the remaining maxillary and mandibular teeth followed by an esthetic evaluation with digital smile design. The digital definitive complete dentures were milled from a monolithic dual-shaded disk.

Replacement of missing teeth with complete denture prostheses have been successfully accomplished for decades. However, limitations of denture materials and the number of appointments required to fabricate new or replacement complete dentures preclude practicality. New innovations involving a partially or completely digital workflow facilitate the fabrication of complete dentures in fewer, shorter appointments, and by incorporating materials that exhibit improved physical properties. The purpose of this manuscript is to describe the variety of workflows that can be implemented to incorporate digital denture fabrication into clinical practice.
