title: Fabrication of a complete, removable dental prosthesis from a digital intraoral impression for a patient with an excessively tight reconstructed lip after oral cancer treatment: A clinical report.
abstract: This clinical report describes the management of a patient who had an excessively tight reconstructed lip because of oral cancer surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. The presented technique used an intraoral scanner for a preliminary impression and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology for preliminary laboratory procedures. This digital impression technique may reduce patient discomfort.
