One of these articles 6 reported that custom MADs obtained with dental CAD software programs can be delivered more easily and required fewer adjustments than acrylic resin MADs fabricated with the conventional processes. Only a few articles 5, 6 have described in detail how a custom MAD can be designed in a dental CAD software program and produced with additive manufacturing.
