The management and treatment of periodontal diseases have significantly advanced with the advent of digital technologies, especially in the realm of prosthodontics. This article explores the utilization of digital technologies in the prosthetic restoration of edentulous patients with non-removable dental prostheses. The integration of technologies such as 3D imaging, digital impressions, and computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems has revolutionized the approach to designing and fabricating dental prostheses. By reducing human error, enhancing precision, and improving patient comfort, these technologies offer promising solutions for long-term success in periodontal prosthetics. This paper also discusses the clinical applications, benefits, and challenges of digital prosthetics in periodontal disease management, highlighting recent advancements and trends in this field.
