Comparative Analysis of Adaptation of Conventional and Printable Complete Denture Bases to the Underlying Casts - An In Vitro Stereomicroscopic Study.

Introduction: Properly adapted complete denture bases will have adequate retention to the underlying oral mucosa. With technological advancement, there are various techniques of fabrication of complete dentures. There are studies regarding the marginal adaptation of conventional and CAD-CAM denture bases, but there is not enough research comparing the marginal adaptation and polymerisation shrinkage of conventional and 3D printed complete denture bases.

An study of a custom-made device for thermoregulation of the mixing slab on the setting properties of zinc oxide eugenol impression paste.

Aim: The present study was aimed to investigate the functional relationship between the mixing temperature and properties of a commercially available zinc oxide eugenol impression paste (ZnOE paste).

Settings And Design: In-vitro study.

Materials And Methods: A custom-made simulated mixing device was indigenously designed to maintain different mixing temperatures, simulating cold, ambient, and hot weather.
