Objective Conventional complete denture protocols require several patient appointments with multiple laboratory procedures. There are multiple workflows incorporating digital technology that can expedite the process, whereas increasing predictability. The proposed digitally replicated denture technique (DRDT) demonstrates a predictable workflow for fabricating complete dentures for patients with existing dentures. Clinical Procedure A patient's existing maxillary and mandibular complete dentures were scanned with an intraoral scanner. The generated STL was then printed using a desktop 3D printer. This served as a custom tray and record base to decrease patient chair time and associated laboratory procedures. Conclusion The DRDT workflow incorporates digital technology into a complete denture protocol to minimize laboratory steps and chair time when fabricating complete dentures for patients with existing prostheses.
