Tam Protez Üretiminde Dijital Dönüşüm: CAD/CAM TAM PROTEZLER

Öz

Bilgisayar Destekli Tasarım ve Bilgisayar Destekli Üretim (CAD/CAM) sistemlerinin diş hekimliğine entegrasyonu, protez cihazlarının üretim süreçlerini derinden dönüştürmüştür. Özellikle tam protez uygulamaları anlamında, bu gelişmiş teknoloji, geleneksel manuel yöntemlere kıyasla çok daha yüksek hassasiyet, verimlilik ve tekrarlanabilirlik sunmaktadır. CAD/CAM sistemlerinin tam protez üretimindeki en önemli avantajlarından biri, protezlerin estetik, fonksiyonel ve biyomekanik özelliklerini iyileştirme yetenekleridir. Ayrıca, CAD/CAM sistemleri üretim standardizasyonunu mümkün kılarak, genellikle bireysel teknisyenlerin uzmanlık ve beceri düzeyine bağlı olan geleneksel tekniklerdeki değişkenliği minimize eder. Bu, hastaların sürekli olarak yüksek kaliteli ve hassas bir şekilde üretilmiş protezler almasını sağlar. CAD/CAM teknolojisinin avantajları daha yüksek doğruluk, hızlandırılmış iş akışları ve artırılmış hasta konforu gibi günlük diş hekimliği pratiğinde giderek daha fazla kabul edilmesine olanak sağlamıştır. Teknolojinin daha erişilebilir ve maliyet etkin hale gelmesiyle, diş hekimliğinde yaygın olarak uygulanması beklenmektedir. Bu teknolojik dönüşüm, ayrıca tam protez üretiminde CAD/CAM sistemlerinin kullanımını araştıran artan sayıda çalışmaya ilham vermiştir. PubMed ve Web of Science veri tabanları kullanılarak yapılan kapsamlı bir literatür taraması, "CAD/CAM tam protez", "akrilik reçine protez kaidesi", "protez kaidesi", "tam protez" ve "ağız içi tarama" gibi arama terimleriyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Tam metin erişimi olan İngilizce ve Türkçe makaleler ve materyaller analizde dahil edilmiştir. Bu inceleme, üretim sistemlerine dair derinlemesine bir genel bakış sunmayı ve tam protez üretiminde CAD/CAM teknolojisinin kullanımına dair mevcut literatürü eleştirel bir şekilde incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Digital Transformation in Complete Denture Production: CAD/CAM COMPLETE DENTURES

Öz

The integration of Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems into dentistry has profoundly transformed the fabrication processes of prosthetic devices. Specifically, in the context of complete denture applications, this advanced technology offers significantly greater precision, efficiency, and reproducibility compared to traditional manual methods. One of the primary advantages of CAD/CAM systems in the production of complete dentures lies in their ability to enhance the aesthetic, functional, and biomechanical properties of the prosthesis. Furthermore, CAD/CAM systems enable the standardization of production, minimizing the variability inherent in traditional techniques, which often depend on the expertise and skill level of individual technicians. This ensures that patients consistently receive high-quality and precisely manufactured prostheses. The benefits of CAD/CAM technology—such as improved accuracy, expedited workflows, and enhanced patient comfort—have facilitated its growing adoption in routine dental practice. As the technology becomes more accessible and cost-effective, its widespread implementation in dentistry is anticipated. This technological shift has also spurred an increasing number of studies investigating the use of CAD/CAM systems for complete denture fabrication. A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted using PubMed and Web of Science databases, employing search terms such as "CAD/CAM complete denture," "acrylic resin denture base," "denture base," "complete denture" and "intraoral scanning." Articles and materials available in full text in both English and Turkish were included in the analysis. This review aims to provide an in-depth overview of production systems and critically examine the current literature on the use of CAD/CAM technology in the fabrication of complete dentures.
