Abstract
Milling complete dentures is becoming a popular option for clinician because subtractive technology can make the fabrication high-quality dentures faster and easier. Additive technology is one of the newest techniques for making complete dentures, and its primary advantage is that a printer is more financially accessible than the milling machine. Printing and milling technology as methods for denture fabrication have similar steps and time frames for their processes. The production of immediate complete dentures also follows similar procedures for both systems. The aim of this article is to compare subtractive and additive technology for the manufacture of immediate complete dentures and to present two case reports.
