Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering
  • Dental Prosthetics
  • Digital Dentistry

Background:

  • Implant-supported complete dentures require accurate registration of multiple parameters for successful prosthetic rehabilitation.
  • Current methods for capturing implant position, soft tissue, and occlusal data can be time-consuming and complex.
  • The integration of digital technologies in prosthodontics offers potential for improved efficiency and accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and describe a novel 3D printed registration device for implant-supported complete dentures.
  • To demonstrate the simultaneous capture of critical clinical data including implant position, soft-tissue contour, anterior tooth position, occlusal vertical dimension, and centric relation.
  • To provide a freely accessible digital file (STL) for the registration device to facilitate its clinical use and adoption.

Main Methods:

  • A 3D printed registration device was designed and fabricated.
  • The device was utilized in a clinical setting to capture multiple registration parameters in a single procedure.
  • The captured data was intended for transfer to a dental laboratory for prosthetic workflow continuation.

Main Results:

  • The registration device successfully captured implant position, soft-tissue contour, anterior tooth position, occlusal vertical dimension, and centric relation simultaneously.
  • The clinical data acquisition process was completed within a timeframe of 10 to 20 minutes.
  • The standard tessellation language (STL) file for the device is available for free download.

Conclusions:

  • The 3D printed registration device offers a simplified and efficient method for data acquisition in implant-supported complete denture fabrication.
  • This digital approach has the potential to streamline the workflow between the dental clinic and the laboratory.
  • The free availability of the STL file promotes accessibility and encourages the adoption of this technology in dental practice.
