Digital beading for a CAD–CAM framework for an implant‐supported overdenture: A dental technique

Abstract

AbstractThe analog technique of making bead lines for a metal superstructure framework for the maxillary implant‐supported overdenture is created by scribing shallow grooves on the surface of a definitive gypsum cast. This report describes a digital technique that uses computer‐aided design and computer‐aided manufacturing technology to make dental bead lines on an intraoral impression without using the gypsum cast.
