A conventional hybrid restoration is a combination restoration using acrylic denture teeth and processing these teeth with acrylic to titanium CAD/CAM designed frame. The challenge with this type of restoration is the constant repair that is necessary, due to denture teeth breaking, or coming loose.

To help alleviate this problem, Sculpture Studios has developed a series of five digital workflows, with digital designing and restoration fabrication with milling and printing technology. This lecture will offer an overview of 5 different digital fabrication methods, with over 10 different material combinations, to create full arch fixed and removable restorations.
