Nowadays, when rehabilitating a toothless tooth, the treatment of choice is implant treatment. However, for medical and/or economic reasons implantology is not always possible. In this context, the Partial Removable Prosthesis (PAP) or Complete (PAC) remains an interesting alternative. However, in removable prostheses, conventional procedures pre-exist and involve numerous production phases, all sources of potential errors. At the same time, technological advances have enabled the development of Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM). Nowadays, many prosthesis laboratories are equipped with scanners and Computer Aided Design (CAD) software specific to removable and implant prostheses. PAP frameworks and PAC bases can now be made with these processes. The development of intra-oral optical cameras also opens interesting perspectives. In continuity, the conjunction of implantology and digital technology allows the improvement of oral rehabilitation procedures. Through clinical cases, made with several CAD/CAM systems, this objective presentation shows the contribution of new digital technologies during removable and/or implant prosthetic rehabilitations.Chantal Auduc is a Doctor of Dental Surgery , University Hospital Assistant; Implantology Consultation: Oral Implantology Functional Unit – Odontology Department CHU ESTAING – Clermont-Ferrand Prosthesis on Implant – Digital prosthesis; Trainer of Dental Assistants CNQAOS Clermont-Ferrand.
