The use of optical scanner for the fabrication of maxillary obturator prostheses

ConclusionsDigital technology for the fabrication of maxillary obturator prosthesis may be effective and useful. The reduced laboratory working time, the avoidance of the risk of aspiration of impression materials, and the overcome of the difficulties associated with whole tissue undercut impression are just some of the most important advantages that have been encountered thanks to this promising technology.
