Intelligibility and Acoustic Speech Performance of CAD/CAM Milled Titanium Partial Dentures
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Speech, Denture, Partial, Removable, CAD-CAM
In brief
Partial dentures play a crucial role in restoring oral function and aesthetics for patients with missing teeth. Traditionally, these prostheses have been fabricated using materials such as acrylic resin or cobalt-chromium alloys. However, advancements in digital dentistry have introduced new materials and manufacturing techniques, including computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) milled titanium. While titanium offers advantages such as biocompatibility, lightweight properties, and corrosion resistance, its impact on speech performance remains understudied.
