With the latest advances in technology, there’s no question that digital dentistry is here to stay. Pala Digital Dentures from Kulzer is one such technology that uses 3D software to create a perfect denture in significantly less time.
With Pala Digital Dentures, superior-quality dentures can be delivered to your lab in about five business days. Only two patient visits are needed before final denture delivery, compared to the five or more visits previously required. Once an impression is taken, it is scanned and 3D renderings of the denture are created based on anatomical landmarks captured in the impression. The final denture is then crafted to uncompromising standards. At your discretion, an optional prototype can be ordered before the final dentures are made, at no additional charge.
Additionally, the 3D model generated by the Pala Digital Denture system serves as a permanent digital record that can be used if a replacement is needed.
Unique to PDD, the impression trays come in four sizes and can be modified for a precision fit. An interesting sequence of “border molding movements” is illustrated in an instructional video that can be viewed here. This ensures that all the oral landmarks, including frenums, have been duplicated.
Next, you follow a few simple steps for verifying the vertical occlusion and centric relation. Then you ship everything to the Kulzer’s Pala Digital Denture Center.
That’s it for patient involvement—impression visit, (optional) prototype, and final delivery.
The combination of dramatic time savings, digital precision, and the exceptionally life-like esthetics of Pala denture teeth makes the Pala Digital Denture System an exciting upgrade for dental laboratories, practices, and patients alike.
