Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how accurately removable partial denture (RPD) frameworks can be made using various digital methods.
- A total of 80 RPD frameworks were created from different materials and manufacturing techniques, with a focus on measuring Δ-error across specific areas.
- Results revealed slight differences in accuracy among the methods, but all frameworks met clinical standards for precision and fit.
Purpose: Digital technology has enabled improvements in the fitting accuracy of denture bases via milling techniques. The aim of this study was to evaluate the trueness and precision of digital and analog techniques for manufacturing complete dentures (CDs).
Materials And Methods: Sixty identical CDs were manufactured using different production protocols.
Material extrusion additive manufacturing enables us to combine more materials in the same nozzle during the deposition process. This technology, called material coextrusion, generates an expanded range of material properties, which can gradually change in the design domain, ensuring blending or higher bonding/interlocking among the different materials. To exploit the opportunities offered by these technologies, it is necessary to know the behavior of the combined materials according to the materials fractions.
