The digital alveolar cast: A revised approach to an old concept.

An alveolar cast is recommended for the fabrication of specific fixed dental prostheses. The analog workflow for such casts is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and highly skill dependent. Advancements in digital technologies are bringing new, efficient, and streamlined protocols for dental practice. This article presents a digital workflow for the fabrication of an alveolar cast by using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM)technologies.
