Novel 3D printing method to reinforce implant-supported denture fiberglass as material for implant prosthesis: A pilot study.

Objectives: Despite a large amount of materials and methods to make an implant-supported denture, nowadays there is no gold standard. Every solution has pros and cons that guide the clinician and the technician to choose the best solution for a single case. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanical characteristics of the fiber-reinforced composite superstructure made by using a novel three-dimensional (3D) printing technology able to create a reinforcing structure patient-specific, more reliable, structurally optimized, and faster than conventional methods.
