Application and development of digital technology in guiding planes preparation of removable partial denture
In the restoration of removable partial denture,the precise preparation of the guiding plane is important for the retention and stability of removable partial denture.The guiding plane can also reduce the adverse stress of the abut-ment and avoid food impaction.How the prepared guiding plane can be ensured to be as parallel as designed one has al-ways been a concern for clinicians.In view of the traditional guiding plane preparation cannot meet the needs of clinical precise treatment,digital combined with 3D printing technolo-gy is expected to solve the above problems on guiding plane preparation.Based on this,the author also proposes a multi-functional guide template with guiding plane preparation and implant implantation.With this novel template,the implanta-tion and removable partial denture insertion can be completed simultaneously,which expands the application of guiding plane preparation with digital technology.This article elabo-rates on the application and development of digital technology in guiding planes preparation of removable partial denture,providing assistance for the clinical promotion and application of this technology.
