Bys: Amberkhane, Vaishnavi, Wagh, Shital, Birajdar, Sanket

The advent of digital workflow in fixed partial dentures (FPD) has revolutionized prosthodontics by integrating intraoral scanning, CAD/CAM designing, and additive or subtractive manufacturing technologies. Digital impressions eliminate distortions associated with conventional methods, enhance accuracy, and improve patient comfort. The streamlined CAD/CAM process ensures precision in framework design, marginal fit, and occlusal harmony, while reducing laboratory steps and chairside time. Furthermore, digital workflows support virtual treatment planning, immediate provisionalization, and predictable esthetic outcomes. Despite challenges related to cost, learning curve, and equipment maintenance, the digital approach offers superior efficiency, reproducibility, and patient-centered outcomes, making it an indispensable tool in contemporary FPD rehabilitation.
