    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials Science
    • Prosthodontics
    • Medical Device Engineering

    Background:

    • Traditional dental prostheses can present challenges with severe undercuts and patient comfort.
    • Improving the fit and reducing trauma during insertion, wear, and removal are key goals in prosthodontic innovation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel technique for fabricating dental prostheses.
    • To evaluate the characteristics and benefits of prostheses produced using this new method.

    Main Methods:

    • A specialized processing technique was employed to create the prosthesis.
    • The method focused on developing a smooth, glossy fitting surface and a compressible foam-filled mass.

    Main Results:

    • The processed prosthesis features a smooth, glossy fitting surface and a uniformly compressible foam-filled mass.
    • The resulting prosthesis is lightweight, offering intrinsic mechanical retention.
    • The technique enhances surface characteristics and controllable compressibility, minimizing patient trauma.

    Conclusions:

    • The described technique yields lightweight dental prostheses with superior retention and patient comfort.
    • The improved surface and compressibility characteristics significantly reduce the risk of trauma during prosthesis use.
    • Despite increased laboratory time, the benefits of enhanced retention and reduced trauma justify the technique's adoption.
