About this trial

15 Patients requiring complete dentures will be recruited from Dubai Health. Each patient will receive two sets of dentures with a washout period between sets. Patients will remain blinded to the fabrication method used for each set.

* Group 1: Participants will first receive conventionally fabricated dentures for both the upper and lower jaws. This set will be made using traditional techniques, including impressions, a custom tray, jaw relation recording, try-in, and final fitting. After the washout period, they will receive a second set created with the 3D-printed technique. * Group 2: Participants in this group will initially receive 3D-printed complete dentures through a digital workflow, which involves intraoral scanning, STL file export, digital design, design review with the patient, 3D printing, and final fitting. Following the washout period, they will then receive a conventionally fabricated set.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Occlusal Force Distribution and Contact Accuracy

Quantitative assessment of occlusal contact number, area, timing, and force distribution in digital versus conventional complete dentures, measured using T-Scan and ModJaw systems, and validated against articulating paper marks.

Time frame
12 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL)

Change in Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) total scores between digital and conventional dentures, reflecting impact on comfort, function, and psychosocial well-being.

Time frame
12 months

Other outcomes

1

Clinical Time Efficiency

Mean chairside time (in minutes) required for each clinical step, including impressions, jaw relation recording, try-in, and final insertion.
