About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate patient satisfaction with intra-orally scanned versus extra-orally scanned digitally printed maxillary dentures in completely edentulous patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Do intra-orally scanned dentures provide higher patient satisfaction compared to extra-orally scanned dentures? 2. Are there significant differences in comfort, fit, aesthetics and phonetics between the two types of dentures?

Researchers will compare the intra-orally scanned denture group to the extra-orally scanned denture group to determine if one method leads to superior patient-reported outcomes.

Participants will:

* Receive both types of dentures (intra-orally scanned and extra-orally scanned), with a three-week wash-out period between each intervention. * Complete satisfaction surveys to assess comfort, fit, and aesthetics after using each type of denture.

The study aims to provide evidence on the optimal scanning method for digitally printed maxillary dentures in edentulous patients.

Treatments tested in this trial

Intra-Oral Scanning Method
Device
Intervention Description: The intra-oral scanning method involves capturing digital impressions of the oral cavity directly using the 3Shape scanner. This method eliminates the need for traditional impression materials, providing a more comfortable and precise imaging process. The digital impressions are then utilized to design and fabricate maxillary dentures using 3D printing technology. The intervention focuses on evaluating patient satisfaction with the dentures in terms of comfort, fit, and aesthetics.
Extra orally scanned
Device
The extra-oral scanning method involves creating conventional impressions of the oral cavity using traditional impression materials. These impressions are then scanned externally using the 3Shape scanner to produce digital models. The digital models are used to design and fabricate maxillary dentures through 3D printing technology. This intervention aims to assess patient satisfaction with the dentures based on comfort, fit, and aesthetics.

Treatment groups

8 Participants

are divided into 2 treatment groups

Group A: Intra-Orally Scanned DenturesExperimental treatment 2 interventions

Group B: Extra-Orally Scanned DenturesActive comparator 2 interventions

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

Patient satisfaction

Patient satisfaction will be assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale questionnaire covering cleanliness, comfort, esthetics,phonetics and fit

Time frame

Assessment will be conducted after patient delivery at 6 months after wearing each denture where as a washout period of two weeks will be observed between the two interventions.
