Assessment of Wear and Muscular Efficiency of 3D Printed Versus Conventional Denture Teeth: A Cross-Over In Vivo Study
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the wear resistance and muscular efficiency of denture teeth fabricated using two different methods: 3D printing and conventional techniques. The research is designed as a crossover in vivo study, where completely edentulous patients will receive both types of dentures sequentially. The primary outcome is the amount of wear observed in the denture teeth over time, while the secondary outcome is the muscular efficiency measured using electromyography (EMG). The study seeks to determine whether 3D printed denture teeth offer advantages in durability and functionality compared to conventionally fabricated denture teeth. Results from this study may provide valuable insights into improving the quality and comfort of dentures for edentulous patients.
