Comparative Study of Denture Fabrication Techniques

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Complete Edentulism

In brief

This study is a randomized, single-blinded clinical study conducted in the predoctoral clinic at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine. The purpose of this study is to compare a traditional complete denture fabrication technique with the Easdent digital complete denture workflow. The Easdent technique is a modification of the conventional method and utilizes FDA-approved materials and 3D-printed trays designed to record teeth position, jaw relations and impression information. Participants who require new dual-arch complete dentures will receive dentures fabricated using both techniques. The order of fabrication and delivery will be randomized. Clinical chair time, number of appointments, and total treatment time will be recorded. Patient-reported outcomes will be assessed using a modified OHIP-EDENT survey and preference questions after completion of both dentures. Student participants will also complete surveys evaluating learning experience and clinical usability. The study does not evaluate the safety or effectiveness of a drug or investigational device. All materials used are FDA-cleared and routinely used in clinical practice. The overall aim is to evaluate efficiency, patient satisfaction, and educational usability of the two denture fabrication workflows.
