Statement Of Problem: Traditional removable partial denture (RPD) manufacture is being phased out in favor of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) techniques and rapid prototyping (RP), which provide more efficient methods of producing RPD frameworks. However, studies comparing the accuracy and surface roughness of these approaches on RPD frameworks are still scarce.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the accuracy and surface roughness of class I cobalt chromium (Co-Cr) removable partial denture frameworks digitally constructed using 2 different CAD-CAM technologies: direct milling (DM) and selective laser melting (SLM).

Purpose: To compare the accuracy of milled versus 3D-printed complete denture bases and teeth and to assess the position of the teeth in relation to the corresponding denture bases.

Materials And Methods: Two different manufacturing techniques were used in this study. In Group A, 10 complete dentures were digitally designed and fabricated by milling prepolymerized blocks of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).

Purpose: To assess the retention and adaptation of milled and printed denture bases in comparison to conventional ones.

Materials And Methods: A total of 24 completely edentulous patients were selected. For each patient, three maxillary denture bases were constructed according to different fabrication techniques, thus defining the three groups for comparison: group 1 consisted of denture bases constructed by a conventional technique, group 2 consisted of denture bases milled from prepolymerized blocks of PMMA, and group 3 consisted of denture bases fabricated by a 3D printing technique.

Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of tooth positions in printed complete dentures with different designs and teeth positioning techniques.

Materials And Methods: Five different designs of complete dentures and teeth positioning techniques were evaluated in this in vitro study. In Group I, the denture bases and teeth were designed as a single piece.

Purpose: To evaluate the overall adaptation and retention of class I cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) removable partial denture (RPD) frameworks using three different computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technologies: Indirect wax milling with lost wax technique (LWT), direct milling, and selective laser melting (SLM) technique.

Materials And Methods: An educational maxillary stone model (Kennedy class I) was scanned after preparing rest seats to create a resin model. The resin model was scanned, and the RPD framework was digitally designed and saved as a standard tessellation language (STL) file.

Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy and adaptation of BioHPP removable partial denture frameworks constructed from milling vs the pressing technique.

Materials And Methods: This in vitro study was applied on an educational maxillary stone model with bilateral bounded saddles. Two different manufacturing techniques were used, and thus two groups were defined: (1) the pressed group, in which 20 BioHPP frameworks were constructed by milling a castable resin that was pressed into BioHPP using the lost wax technique; and (2) the milled group, in which 20 BioHPP frameworks were constructed directly by milling the BioHPP blanks.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of platform switching, using 3 different abutment sizes on the strain developed around implants supporting mandibular overdenture, using strain gages.

Materials: An implant-supported overdenture was constructed on an acrylic model with 2 implant fixtures placed at canine areas. Abutments of different sizes (5.
