To Evaluate the Complete Mandibular Dentures Produced Via 3D Printing in Comparison to Those Constructed From Metal-reinforced Acrylic Resin Regarding Their Retention (retention)

July 15, 2025 updated by: Ayman Fathy Farouk El-Awadi, National Research Centre, Egypt

Comparative Study of Retention of Mandibular Denture Bases Three-dimensional (3D) Printing Technique and Metal-reinforced Acrylic Resin

in this study we will construct denture for patient by different way and material one of this denture constructed digitally and the other one constructed in conventional way with metal reinforced. then we will measure the retention of the dentures

Study Overview

Detailed Description

the complete denture is constructed for completely edentulous patient. the different technique of construction aim to increase retention of denture to prevent dislodgment during mastication

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: complete edentulous patient receive 3D printed denture
group 1: 10 patients: Complete dentures constructed from poly-methyl methacrylate resin were used to create the mandibular and maxillary 3D-printed dentures
different method of denture construction
Active Comparator: complete edentulous patient receive metal reinforced denture
group 2: 10 patients: complete denture constructed from metal reinforced acrylic denture
different method of denture construction

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
retention measurement
Time Frame: immediatlly after denture construction
To assess retention, a digital force gauge (Digital Force Gauge EXTECH 475044) was employed. All of the mandibular dentures were modified to receive a custom-made metal framework consisting of three tubes connected by a hook at the determining geometric center of the denture, two tubes extend 2 cm above the occlusal plane from the retromolar pad region, and one was made at the midline region lingual and below the central incisors. The mandibular denture's polished surface was then joined to the specially constructed custom-made metal framework using self-curing acrylic resin
immediatlly after denture construction
