At Madaras Dental, we strive to provide tailor-made solutions for every patient. Recently, we had the opportunity to help a patient who, after suffering a stroke, needed a partial denture that could be inserted and removed with one hand, as he was unable to use the other.
Challenges with special needs
Patients after a stroke often struggle with limited motor skills, which can significantly affect their daily lives. For a dental prosthesis, it is therefore crucial that:
- it can be easily inserted and removed,
- it fits precisely without causing discomfort,
- it is both aesthetic and functional.
Digital workflow – a customized solution
In our clinic, we used digital technology that allowed us to complete the entire process in a single visit:
- Intraoral scan
- We obtained an accurate 3D image of the patient’s mouth.
- The scanner provided a painless and fast scan without the need for traditional impression materials.
- Digital design of the denture
- Using CAD software, we designed a partial denture adapted for one-handed use.
- We considered the position and shape of the teeth to ensure stability while keeping it easy to remove.
- Production and final adjustments
- The partial denture was manufactured using an analog method with 3D-printed models.
The result
- The patient was able to insert and remove the denture independently with one hand.
- The denture was aesthetic, functional, and comfortable.
- The entire process was completed in a single visit, saving the patient both time and stress.
Why choose a digital solution
- Speed and efficiency – the patient leaves with a finished denture right after the appointment.
- Accuracy – digital impressions and CAD/CAM production minimize errors and imperfections.
- Comfort and independence – special customization allows the patient to use the denture independently.
💡 Conclusion
Digital dentistry makes it possible to create customized solutions for patients with special needs. At Madaras Dental, we strive to ensure that every patient can receive a comfortable, precise, and aesthetic solution even in complex cases – with maximum comfort and minimal stress.
