Fit and retention of complete denture bases: Part II - conventional impressions versus digital scans: A clinical controlled crossover study. J Prosthet Dent 2024; 131:618-625. [PMID: 36055812 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2022.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2022] [Revised: 07/15/2022] [Accepted: 07/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Although the intraoral scanning of edentulous ridges is feasible, clinical evidence that the resulting denture retention is equivalent to that achieved with conventional impressions is lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this clinical study was to determine the retention of complete denture bases fabricated from digital intraoral scans versus conventional impressions by using border molding and posterior palatal seal compression. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty volunteers with an edentulous maxilla were recruited. An intraoral scan of the maxilla and a conventionally border-molded impression with a custom tray were made. The conventional impression was poured; the definitive cast was scanned. Three-dimensionally (3D) printed (PB1) and milled bases (MB1) were fabricated based on the scan of the definitive cast. Based on the intraoral scan, a 3D printed (PB2) and a milled base (MB2) were fabricated. On each base, a platform with a hook consisting of a central notch orienting the force against the post dam (PD) and 2 lateral notches orienting the forces against the left (LT) and right (RT) tuberosities was set in the center of the outer surface of the base. A traction dynamometer was inserted in the hook and oriented into the corresponding notch by applying force until dislodgement. All bases were subsequently stored in artificial saliva for 2 weeks and scanned. Retention testing was repeated by using the same procedure. To evaluate trueness and to visualize the differences on a color map, the scan of the definitive cast and the intraoral scans were matched and compared in 3 dimensions. The Wilcoxon tests were used to compare the retention of the different bases (95% confidence interval, α=.05). RESULTS Nineteen participants with a mean ±standard deviation age of 64.1 ±14.7 years completed the 4 study sessions. The retention of printed bases (PD: 16.08 ±15.28 N; LT: 14.98 ±14.72 N; RT: 11.28 ±9.57 N) and milled bases (PD:14.52 ±17.07 N; RT: 11.99 ±12.10 N; LT: 13.55 ±15.53 N) fabricated from conventional impressions presented significantly higher retentive forces than those printed (PD: 6.21 ±4.72 N; RT:5.12 ±2.78 N; LT: 4.45 ±2.77 N) and milled (PD: 6.58 ±4.92 N; RT: 4.65 ±2.63 N; LT: 5.02 ±3.58 N) from the intraoral scans (P<.05). The differences were significant in all directions of dislodgement, as well as after storage in artificial saliva for 2 weeks. Comparison of the 3D distances between the intraoral scan and the definitive cast revealed a mean deviation of 0.45 ±0.11 mm. CONCLUSIONS Conventional impressions of the edentulous maxilla, including the clinical steps of border molding and posterior palatal seal compression, provide better retention than digital intraoral scans with both milled and 3D printed denture bases.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The custom disk is a novel method of complete denture fabrication; however, patient-reported outcomes and fabrication costs are unknown. PURPOSE The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate general patient satisfaction with complete dentures fabricated through the custom disk method. In addition, a comparative cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted for the custom disk method and conventional removable complete dentures. MATERIAL AND METHODS Complete dentures were fabricated for 44 edentulous participants by using the custom disk method (n=20) or the conventional removable complete denture (n=24). General patient satisfaction was measured by using visual analog scales before and after denture fabrication and compared by using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test (α=.05); the fabrication cost for each method was investigated and compared by using the Mann-Whitney U test (α=.05). Cost-effectiveness was analyzed with the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio as incremental cost per change in general patient satisfaction for the custom disk method with respect to the conventional removable complete denture. RESULTS The median general patient satisfaction with the custom disk method and conventional removable complete denture after the intervention was 84.0 mm and 91.0 mm, respectively. General patient satisfaction with the custom disk method was significantly higher after the intervention (P=.002). The median labor costs for the custom disk method and conventional removable complete denture were 24 516 and 36 583 Japanese yen, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P<.001). The median of the total cost of the custom disk method and the conventional removable complete denture was 41 104 and 45 276 Japanese yen, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P=.004). The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was -251.4. CONCLUSIONS The custom disk method improved general patient satisfaction. The labor and total costs of the custom disk method were significantly lower than those of the conventional removable complete denture. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio demonstrated that the custom disk method was more cost-effective than the conventional removable complete denture.

Abstract
Statement of problem The effect of using the custom disk method (CDM) for fabricating digital dentures on patients' masticatory function should be studied to support its use in clinical practice. Purpose To investigate the effect of digital dentures fabricated using CDM on patients' masticatory function. Material and methods This single-center prospective clinical study included 20 patients with edentulous maxillary and mandibular arches who used a complete denture. The digital impression and complete denture manufacturing procedures using CDM have already been reported by Kanazawa et al. (2018) [32] and Soeda et al. (2022) [18] Thedigital dentures fabricated with CDM were delivered to the participants, and periodic adjustments were made until the patient could use the denture without pain. A color-changeable chewing gum, two types of gummy jellies that can evaluate the masticatory function, and pressure-sensitive sheets were used to evaluate the participants' masticatory function at baseline, 1 month, and 6 months following adjustment of the new digital complete dentures fabricated with CDM. These masticatory function values had already been measured in the previous conventional dentures and were recorded as baseline values. Results The study participants included 8 women and 12 men (mean age, 77.6 years). The color-changeable chewing gum analysis indicated that there was no significant improvement of masticatory function from baseline to 1 M (P = .083) and 6 M (P = .157).The gummy jelly analysis indicated no significant differences between the masticatory function baseline and 1 month (P = .387); however, a significant improvement was observed from baseline to 6 months (P = .020). Tests with Glucolum indicated a significant improvement from baseline to 1 month (P = .012) and 6 months (P = .003). The maximum bite force and occlusal contact area showed no significant difference at any time point. Conclusions Significant improvement in masticatory function was observed upon evaluation with gummy jelly and Glucolum 6 months after delivering the new digital complete dentures. Under limited conditions, the digital denture fabricated using CDM resulted in good recovery of the masticatory function in elderly edentulous patients. The present results combined with the cost-effectiveness and patient satisfaction associated with CDM indicate its clinical utility.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to predict the positional coordinates of incisor points from the scan data of conventional complete dentures and verify their accuracy. MATERIALS AND METHODS The standard triangulated language (STL) data of the scanned 100 pairs of complete upper and lower dentures were imported into the computer-aided design software from which the position coordinates of the points corresponding to each landmark of the jaw were obtained. The x, y, and z coordinates of the incisor point (XP, YP, and ZP) were obtained from the maxillary and mandibular landmark coordinates using regression or calculation formulas, and the accuracy was verified to determine the deviation between the measured and predicted coordinate values. YP was obtained in two ways using the hamular-incisive-papilla plane (HIP) and facial measurements. Multiple regression analysis was used to predict ZP. The root mean squared error (RMSE) values were used to verify the accuracy of the XP and YP. The RMSE value was obtained after cross-validation using the remaining 30 cases of denture STL data to verify the accuracy of ZP. RESULTS The RMSE was 2.22 for predicting XP. When predicting YP, the RMSE of the method using the HIP plane and facial measurements was 3.18 and 0.73, respectively. Cross-validation revealed the RMSE to be 1.53. CONCLUSION YP and ZP could be predicted from anatomical landmarks of the maxillary and mandibular edentulous jaw, suggesting that YP could be predicted with better accuracy with the addition of the position of the lower border of the upper lip.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Digital workflows for digital complete denture fabrication have a variety of clinical and laboratory procedures, but their outcomes and associated complications are currently unknown. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the clinical and laboratory procedures for digital complete dentures, their outcomes, and associated complications. MATERIAL AND METHODS Electronic literature searches were conducted on PubMed/Medline, Embase, and Web of Science for studies published from January 2000 to September 2022 and screened by 2 independent reviewers. Information on digital complete denture procedures, materials, their outcomes, and associated complications was extracted. RESULTS Of 266 screened studies, 39 studies were included. While 26 assessed definitive complete dentures, 7 studies assessed denture bases, 2 assessed trial dentures, and 4 assessed the digital images only. Twenty-four studies used border molded impression technique, 3 studies used a facebow record, and 7 studies used gothic arch tracing. Only 13 studies performed trial denture placement. Twenty-one studies used milling, and 17 studies used 3D printing for denture fabrication. One study reported that the retention of maxillary denture bases fabricated from a border-molded impression (14.5 to 16.1 N) was statistically higher than the retention of those fabricated from intraoral scanning (6.2 to 6.6 N). The maximum occlusal force of digital complete denture wearers was similar across different fabrication procedures. When compared with the conventional workflow, digital complete dentures required statistically shorter clinical time with 205 to 233 minutes saved. Up to 37.5% of participants reported loss of retention and up to 31.3% required a denture remake. In general, ≥1 extra visit and 1 to 4 unscheduled follow-up visits were needed. The outcomes for patient satisfaction and oral health-related quality of life were similar between conventional, milled, and 3D-printed complete dentures. CONCLUSIONS Making a border-molded impression is still preferred for better retention, and trial denture placement is still recommended to optimize the fabrication of definitive digital complete dentures.

Abstract
3D-printing application in dentistry not only enables the manufacture of patient-specific devices and tissue constructs, but also allows mass customization, as well as digital workflow, with predictable lower cost and rapid turnaround times. 4D printing also shows a good impact in dentistry, as it can produce dynamic and adaptable materials, which have proven effective in the oral environment, under its continuously changing thermal and humidity conditions. It is expected to further boost the research into producing a whole tooth, capable to harmoniously integrate with the surrounding periodontium, which represents the ultimate goal of tissue engineering in dentistry. Because of their high versatility associated with the wide variety of available materials, additive manufacturing in dentistry predominantly targets the production of polymeric constructs. The aim of this narrative review is to catch a glimpse of the current state-of-the-art of additive manufacturing in dentistry, and the future perspectives of this modern technology, focusing on the specific polymeric materials.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study investigated the usefulness of a newly proposed intraoral scanning method, using markers that can be used directly in the oral cavity, in order to improve the accuracy of impression taking of the residual ridge for fabrication of removable partial dentures. METHODS An intraoral scanner was used to scan a dental model of a partially edentulous mandibular arch (Kennedy Class I). As markers, pieces of dried pasta were used. The scanning operation was performed under three conditions. In Condition 1, scanning was performed on the remaining teeth and the residual ridge without markers. In Condition 2, scanning of the remaining teeth and residual ridge was performed with markers. In Condition 3, the markers were removed from the model used in Condition 2, and the residual ridge was scanned again. The scanning data of each condition was superimposed on the control data, and the shape error was calculated and compared among the conditions. RESULTS There was a significant difference in trueness of the residual ridge before and after marker application. The application of markers improved the trueness, while maintaining precision. Re-scanning after removing the marker did not affect trueness between before and after re-scanning and the re-scanned region showed shape continuity with the surrounding region. CONCLUSION The present method using markers that can be used in the oral cavity was effective in improving the accuracy of impression taking at the residual ridge.

Abstract
PURPOSE To improve the clinical effects of complete denture use and simplify its clinical application, a digital complete denture restoration workflow (Functional Suitable Digital Complete Denture System, FSD) was proposed and preliminary clinical evaluation was done. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty edentulous patients were enrolled, of which half were treated by a prosthodontic chief physician, and the others were treated by a postgraduate student. Based on the primary impression and jaw relation obtained at the first visit, diagnostic denture was designed and printed to create a definitive impression, jaw relation, and esthetic confirmation at the second visit. A redesigned complete denture was printed as a mold to fabricate final denture that was delivered at the third visit. To evaluate accuracy of impression made by diagnostic denture, the final denture was used as a tray to make impression, and 3D comparison was used to analyze their difference. To evaluate the clinical effect of FSD, visual analogue scores (VAS) were determined by both dentists and patients. RESULTS Two visits were reduced before denture delivery. The RMS values of 3D comparison between the impression made via diagnostic dentures and the final dentures were 0.165 ± 0.033 mm in the upper jaw and 0.139 ± 0.031 mm in the lower jaw. VAS ratings were between 8.5 and 9.6 in the chief physician group, while 7.7 and 9.5 in the student group; there was no statistical difference between the two groups. CONCLUSION FSD can simplify the complete denture restoration process and reduce the number of visits. The accuracy of impressions made by diagnostic dentures was acceptable in clinic. The VASs of both dentists and patients were satisfied.

Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13244435. [PMID: 34960985 PMCID: PMC8706392 DOI: 10.3390/polym13244435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2021] [Revised: 12/14/2021] [Accepted: 12/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is widely used in dental applications. However, PMMA specialized for stereolithography (SLA) additive manufacturing (3D-printing) has not been developed yet. This study aims to develop a novel PMMA-based resin for SLA 3D-printing by mixing methyl methacrylate (MMA), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA), and PMMA powder in various mixing ratios. The printability and the viscosity of the PMMA-based resins were examined to determine their suitability for 3D-printing. The mechanical properties (flexural strength and Vickers hardness), shear bond strength, degree of conversion, physicochemical properties (water sorption and solubility), and cytotoxicity for L929 cells of the resulting resins were compared with those of three commercial resins: one self-cured resin and two 3D-print resins. EGDMA and PMMA were found to be essential components for SLA 3D-printing. The viscosity increased with PMMA content, while the mechanical properties improved as EGDMA content increased. The shear bond strength tended to decrease as EGDMA increased. Based on these characteristics, the optimal composition was determined to be 30% PMMA, 56% EGDMA, 14% MMA with flexural strength (84.6 ± 7.1 MPa), Vickers hardness (21.6 ± 1.9), and shear bond strength (10.5 ± 1.8 MPa) which were comparable to or higher than those of commercial resins. The resin’s degree of conversion (71.5 ± 0.7%), water sorption (19.7 ± 0.6 μg/mm3), solubility (below detection limit), and cell viability (80.7 ± 6.2% at day 10) were all acceptable for use in an oral environment. The printable PMMA-based resin is a potential candidate material for dental applications.

Abstract
Aims: This study was conducted to evaluate the adaptation of maxillary complete denture designed by two different open computer-aided design software programs (3Shape and Exocad) using Geomagic surface matching software. Settings and Design: This was a nonrandomized crossover clinical trial. Materials and Methods: Twenty completely edentulous patients were selected in this study. Forty complete dentures were designed using two different software programs: twenty dentures were designed by 3Shape software and the other twenty dentures were designed by Exocad software. Maxillary dentures were evaluated regarding their adaptation by measuring the deviations that occurred between the fitting surface of the three-dimensional printed dentures, and the scanned master casts using Geomagic surface matching software. Statistical Analysis Used: An unpaired t-test was used for statistical analysis. Results: According to the positive average deviation value that represented pressure areas, 3Shape-designed maxillary dentures showed significantly lower mean deviation values (0.041115 ± 0.018165 mm) than Exocad-designed maxillary dentures (0.500665 ± 0.032619 mm). Regarding the negative average deviation values that represented the gap areas, Exocad-designed maxillary dentures showed significantly lower mean deviation values (0.161555 ± 0.007842 mm) than 3Shape-designed maxillary dentures (0.231350 ± 0.009146 mm). The results of the total average deviation values showed significantly lower mean deviation values (0.096950 ± 0.008868 mm) of 3Shape-designed maxillary dentures than Exocad-designed maxillary dentures (0.250755 ± 0.021154 mm). Conclusion: 3Shape and Exocad software programs produced acceptable maxillary dentures regarding denture adaptation. However, maxillary dentures designed by 3 Shape software showed better adaptation than maxillary dentures designed by Exocad software.

Abstract
A 91-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with a chief complaint of unsatisfactory fit and pain associated with her complete dentures. She had moderate dementia with difficulty in communication (Mini-Mental State Examination, 16; Barthel Index, 15). The closed impressions and jaw record were taken with the digitally fabricated copy dentures as follows. First, the tissue conditioner was used to correct the poor fit of the old dentures, following which minor occlusal alterations were made. Second, the copy dentures that copied the morphology of the corrected old dentures using three-dimensional (3D) scanner were fabricated with a 3D printer. The new dentures were then fabricated using conventional methods as follows. The impressions were cast and articulated, and the dentures were subsequently processed. This case report documented the following results. First, the acceptance of new dentures appeared to be easier since the new dentures copied the morphology of the familiar dentures digitally. Moreover, the 3D data of the dentures could be used for immediate denture fabrication in case of fracture or loss of the dentures. Second, only two visits were required for taking an impression and delivering the complete dentures. In addition, her old dentures were brought to our dental office by the patient's family after the patient's dinner; immediately after copying the dentures' morphology, the dentures were returned to the patient's family, thus avoiding any disturbance to the patient's eating routine. These reduced the burden on the patient and her family.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Scientific data analyzing the clinical outcomes and costs of complete dentures fabricated by using conventional and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) processes are lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the treatment duration, financial costs, and postdelivery adjustments of CAD-CAM and conventional removable complete dentures. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty-two edentulous participants (16 women, 16 men; age 35-85 years) who had received either CAD-CAM (n=16) or conventional (n=16) maxillary and mandibular removable complete dentures provided by prosthodontists with a minimum of 2 years of experience were evaluated. The CAD-CAM denture systems were either DDS-AV (AvaDent Digital Dental Solutions) (n=11) or DD-IV (Wieland Digital Denture) (n=5). The total treatment period (days) was recorded at 3 different time points (T0: preliminary alginate impression; T1: denture delivery; T2: last scheduled postdelivery adjustment). Adjustments during the follow-up (after T2) were noted and included the removal of areas of excessive pressure, relining, or repairs. The costs of the dental treatment and the laboratory fees were calculated. The Wilcoxon rank sum tests were used for statistical analysis (α=.05). RESULTS No statistically significant difference regarding the treatment duration between digitally and conventionally fabricated removable complete dentures was found: T0-T1 (P=.889); T1-T2 (P=.675); T2- T3 (P=.978). No significant difference was found in the number adjustments for areas of excessive pressure, relines, or repairs (P=.757, P=1.000, P=1.000) during the period. Laboratory costs of CAD-CAM removable complete dentures were significantly lower than those of conventional removable complete dentures (P<.001), but clinical fees were similar between groups (P=.596), resulting in a reduction in the overall total costs for the CAD-CAM removable complete dentures (P=.011). Regarding the number of clinical visits, neither the group (conventional/CAD-CAM (P=.945)/DDS-AV/DD-IV [P=.848]) nor the interaction group (conventional/CAD-CAM and DDS-AV/DD-IV)/period (P=.084/P=.171) showed any significant differences. CONCLUSIONS CAD-CAM removable complete dentures can be considered a viable alternative to conventional removable complete dentures regarding treatment duration, clinical and follow-up visits, adjustments, and maintenance requirements.

Abstract
Although intraoral scanners have gained in popularity, the traditional impression technique with a custom tray is still useful, particularly when making a definitive impression of multiple abutment teeth. A custom tray can be fabricated with a dental software program, avoiding the disadvantages of the manual laboratory procedures. However, additional module purchasing is necessary. This article presents a digital workflow for designing a custom tray by using an open-source software program.

Abstract
PURPOSE The present study aimed to examine three methods for imaging a complete denture form and to discuss the geometric assessment and availability of these methods. METHODS Three methods were used: cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), desktop dental scanning (DDS), and handheld optical scanning (HOS). Three sides of a cuboid resin block of a known size were measured on the captured images. Ten upper and lower complete dentures were digitized using each of the three methods. The denture forms in the standard triangulated language format were reconstructed using the computer aided design software with three resolutions: 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0. The two images were superimposed through a least-square algorithm, and the mean differences were examined among the three types of imaging methods and resolutions. RESULTS The smallest mean differences and variations were obtained for CBCT and DDS, followed by HOS in the experiment using resin block. The lengths of longitudinal and horizontal sides were shortened in CBCT and DDS, whereas the height was shortened in HOS. The variations in each direction were very small by repetitive imaging within every imaging method. The difference between the CBCT and DDS was significantly smaller than that in the other two groups in experiment using actual dentures. The influence of resolution was comparatively low. CONCLUSIONS The results suggested that CBCT and DDS had a similar geometric assessment, but that of the HOS was lower.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) processes are increasingly used in dentistry. The underlying process is the joining of material layer by layer based on 3D data models. Four additive processes (laser stereolithography, polymer jetting, digital light processing, fused deposition modeling) are mainly used for processing dental polymers. The number of polymer materials that can be used for AM in dentistry is small compared to other areas. Applications in dentistry using AM are limited (e.g. study models, maxillo-facial prostheses, orthodontic appliances etc.). New and further developments of materials are currently taking place due to the increasing demand for safer and other applications. Biocompatibility and the possibility of using materials not only as temporarily but as definitive reconstructions under oral conditions, mechanically more stable materials where less or no post-processing is needed are current targets in AM technologies. Printing parameters are also open for further development where optical aspects are also important.

Abstract
This technical report describes 2 workflows for fabricating computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) milled complete dentures (CDs). The first technique illustrates a manufacturer-independent workflow using conventional clinical steps and a novel, custom modified tray to successfully fabricate CAD-CAM milled CDs. The second technique highlights a nearly digital workflow for manufacturing a CAD-CAM milled CD and a milled resin interim removable partial denture.

Abstract
Edentulism, defined as the complete loss of all dentition, is a worldwide phenomenon. Edentulism occurs because of biologic disease processes, such as dental caries, periodontal diseases, trauma, and oral cancer. Edentulism is accompanied by several comorbidities that can significantly influence an individual. Although the rate of edentulism is declining, the number of edentulous patients continues to rise because of the increase in population. The management of edentulous patient has been addressed since the early days of dentistry. This article describes complete dentures and their maintenance, and advanced technology in complete dentures, and in implant-retained and implant-supported prosthesis.

[PMID: 30866892 PMCID: PMC6417141 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-019-0733-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2018] [Accepted: 02/25/2019] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The utilization of intraoral scanning for manufacturing of complete dentures (CD) has been reported recently. However, functional border molding still cannot be supported digitally. A proof-of-concept trial shows two possible pathways to overcome this limitation by integrating a relining procedure into the digital workflow for CD manufacturing. Case presentation Intraoral scans and additional facial scans were performed with two various scanning systems for the rehabilitation of an edentulous male patient. The obtained raw data was aligned and used for the computer aided design (CAD) of the CD. The virtually constructed dentures were materialized in two various ways, considering rapid manufacturing and digital relining approaches in order to apply functionally molded borders. Conclusion The use of intraoral edentulous jaws scans in combination with the digital relining procedure may allow for fabrication of CD with functional borders within a fully digital workflow.
