Occlusion stability of digital complete dentures better than that of traditional dentures
Compared with conventional complete denture restoration technology, functionally suitable digital complete dentures (FSDs) can save time and have a comparable clinical effect suggests a recent study published in the JADA. The authors of this study aimed to compare the treatment outcomes and time efficiency between digital and conventional complete denture restorations and propose suggestions for clinical use.
The satisfaction scores of functionally suitable digital complete dentures (FSDs) (7.6-9.6 [dentist's scores], 8.4-10 [patients' scores]) were higher than those of conventional dentures (7.2-9.7 [dentist's score], 7.4-9.8 [patients' scores]), but there were no significant differences.
The clinical and laboratory operation times of the functionally suitable digital complete dentures (FSDs) group were less than those of the conventional group, saving an average of 28.0 minutes and 64.3 minutes in the clinic and laboratory, respectively.
Functionally suitable digital complete dentures (FSDs) technology can improve the efficiency of clinical and laboratory operations and shorten the manufacturing cycle of dentures. The occlusion stability of functionally suitable digital complete dentures (FSDs) was statistically better than traditional dentures, but there was no statistical difference in other clinical indicators.
FSD technology is low cost and easy to operate and has several applications. Compared with conventional complete denture restoration technology, FSDs can save time and have a comparable clinical effect.
