Özet

This clinical report focuses on the production of a 3-dimensionally printed definitive cast by using digital scans to fabricate an obturator prosthesis for a completely edentulous patient with a maxillary defect. A merged intraoral scanner image of the soft tissue anatomy of maxillary structures with volumetric data of the craniofacial hard and soft tissues obtained from a cone beam computed tomography scan was used to generate a virtual cast, producing the polyurethane definitive cast manufactured by using a 3-dimensional printer.
