U.S., Nov. 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07911371) titled 'Comparison of 3D-Printed and Heat-Cured Upper Complete Denture Bases' on Oct. 20.
Brief Summary: This study compared two methods of making bases for upper complete dentures: three-dimensional (3D) printing and conventional heat curing. A denture base rests on the gums and supports the artificial teeth. The aim was to determine whether the manufacturing method affected retention, stability and support: how well the base resisted being dislodged, resisted horizontal or rocking movements, and resisted movement towards the supporting tissues under pressure.
Sixteen participants with no remaining upper teeth took part. Two denture bases ...
