Abstract
Computer aided design, numerically controlled milling, additive manufacturing and other digital technologies have been widely used in clinical practice of prosthodontics. The application of these technologies not only changed the design and manufacturing workflow of removable partial denture (RPD), but also improved the production efficiency of dentures, and changed the design and manufacturing concept of dentures. A large number of researches on computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) of RPD have emerged in recent years, including researches on the properties of selective laser melting metal powder and other new dental materials, the innovative design of retainers, connectors, artificial teeth and other denture components, high precision manufacturing of the RPD framework, denture base and artificial teeth, quantitative laboratory evaluations of the accuracy, adaption and mechanical properties of RPD with new structures and made of new materials, clinical evaluations of RPD and others. This paper introduces these recent developments in CAD/CAM of RPD.
