Description
Summary:This article describes a digital technique for obtaining a standard tessellation language (STL) file of a complete denture using a desktop scanner and an open-source software program. Accurate recording of the surface details of the denture in 3D was performed using a desktop scanner. The generated STL file from this technique represents a digital duplicate of the scanned denture. This file can be used for surgical implant placement planning, fabricating a duplicate denture, and storing the scanned denture as a digital file for future use.
