Abstract | ||||
Background: Computer-aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) dentures are suppose to have more favorable material properties than conventional heat - cured acrylic dentures, among them a lesser methacrylate monomer release. The purpose of this clinical study: Was to evaluate the retention quality of conventional heatcure acrylic denture bases and digitally milled maxillary complete denture bases. Material and methods: This study was done on six edentulous patients; CAD/CAM dentures were constructed from six different master casts by using CAD/ CAM system. Conventional heatcure acrylic dentures acted as a control group. Universal testing machine was used to measure the retention of the denture. Every denture base was subjected to a slowly increasing vertical load until the denture was totally out of place 5 times at 10-minute intervals. The average retention of the two assemble methods was analyzed using Independent t-test & Paired t-test. Results: CAD/CAM denture showed statistically significant higher mean retention value than conventional denture at insertion and after one-month (P value<0.000, <0.000) respectively. Conclusion : Compared with the traditional manual method, the retention of the maxillary complete denture prepared using the CAD/CAM method for the edentulous alveolar ridge was significantly higher, meaning that the CAD/CAM method can meet the clinically acceptable precision for design and development of complete dentures as trial for restoring edentulous jaws. | ||||
