Webinar: Polychromatic Monolithic Dentures: The Clinical and Workflow Case for Going Digital

Full-arch restorations have traditionally required assembly, post-processing, and significant chairside adjustment time. 3D-printed polychromatic monolithic dentures change that equation by combining denture base and teeth in a single print to deliver improved occlusal accuracy, better fit, and fewer post-delivery remakes.

Dr. Wei-Shao Lin, Chair of the Department of Prosthodontics at Indiana University School of Dentistry, walks through the clinical evidence behind this technology, sharing performance data, patient outcomes, and design principles drawn from real cases. The session covers advanced characterization and glazing techniques, and demonstrates how labs can integrate this workflow to improve both the quality of their restorations and the efficiency of their production process. 

Learning Objectives:

• Explain how polychromatic monolithic 3D printing eliminates manual steps to improve occlusal accuracy and reduce post-delivery adjustments.
• Apply proven design principles for 3D-printed full-arch restorations to optimize fit and clinical performance.
• Implement advanced characterization techniques to achieve superior aesthetic outcomes in digital denture fabrication.
• Interpret clinical performance data and patient outcome studies to evaluate the quality and reliability of 3D-printed monolithic dentures.
• Develop a workflow integration strategy for adopting digital denture fabrication to increase lab efficiency and reduce remakes.
