Statement Of Problem: The popularity of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) dentures has led to the introduction of new denture materials and resins. However, studies on the surface characteristics of these materials and how they compare to dentures fabricated by more traditional methods are lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to determine whether the surface roughness (Ra) of denture base materials differed based on manufacturing technique.
Material And Methods: Disks of Ø10×2-mm (n=10) were fabricated using 6 different manufacturing techniques, including compression molding (Lucitone 199), injection molding (Ivocap High Impact), Computer Numerical Control (CNC) milling (Ivotion Base), and additive manufacturing on the Carbon M2 (Lucitone Digital Print), the SprintRay Pro55 S (Dentca Denture Base II), and the Envision One (Flexcera Base) systems. An automatic, noncontact laser confocal microscope (VK-X1000 Series; KEYENCE) was used to analyze the Ra surface roughness of each specimen at ×5 magnification. The images were imported into a multifile analyzer, horizontal and vertical roughness profiles were inserted into each scan, and Ra values were calculated and averaged by following the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 4287 standard. A 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to compare the effect of manufacturing technique on surface roughness, followed by the Tukey multiple comparisons test (α=.05).
Results: The additively manufactured Dentca Denture Base II (AM-DB) exhibited a statistically significantly higher Ra when compared with the other test groups (P<.001). The additively manufactured Flexcera Base (AM-FB) showed a higher Ra mean value when compared with injection molding (IM) (P=.036). No statistically significant difference in surface roughness was found among the other tested materials representing the different processing methods (P>.05).
Conclusions: The manufacturing method influences the Ra of denture base materials with varying results. The injection molding method resulted in the smoothest surface compared with additively manufactured and CNC-milled denture base materials.

Background: When designing removable partial dentures, maximizing the effectiveness of support and bracing is necessary to minimize denture movement. Therefore, it is essential to emphasize the importance of providing patients with appropriate, safe, and secure removable partial dentures and have clinicians rerecognize the concept and importance of support and bracing. This study aimed to present extension-base removable partial dentures through six specific clinical case series and describe the effect of support and bracing action on denture design, which is essential for denture movement minimization.

Among individuals who wear removable dentures, there is a significant likelihood, reaching up to 70 %, of experiencing a condition known as denture-induced stomatitis. To address this issue, a commonly used method involves soaking dentures in denture cleansers to eliminate microorganisms. However, the prolonged use of this cleaning method has resulted in the emergence of drug resistance.

Background: Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is ideal for denture bases but is prone to biofilm accumulation, leading to denture stomatitis (DS), often involving . Dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) are introduced into dental materials for their antimicrobial and protein-repellent properties. This study investigates the effects of incorporating dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) into heat-polymerized (HP) and 3D-printed (3DP) denture base resins on microbial adhesion and cytotoxicity.

Light-polymerizing reline materials offer improved chairside workability compared to conventional auto-polymerizing reline materials, addressing the partial denture (RPD) incompatibility caused by residual ridge resorption owing to long-term use. This study evaluates the fitting accuracy of relined materials by combining conventional fitting tests with three-dimensional (3D) measurements for detailed analysis. Light-polymerizing reline material (HikariLiner, Tokuyama, Tokyo, Japan, LP) and auto-polymerizing material (Rebase III, Tokuyama, AP) were used.
