Abstract

The accuracy of Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD-CAM) systems in the fabrication of removable partial denture (RPD) frameworks compared to conventional manufacturing methods is of interest to dentists. Known data show that CAD-CAM systems produce RPD frameworks with superior fit and adaptation, potentially reducing post-insertion adjustments and enhancing patient satisfaction. The importance of digital impressions, advanced CAD software, and the capabilities of milling or 3D printing equipment in determining the success of CAD-CAM fabricated frameworks is highlighted. Despite promising results, further research is needed to evaluate the long-term clinical performance of CAD-CAM systems in RPD fabrication and to address the existing limitations.
