    The accuracy of removable partial denture frameworks from commercial labs was poor, with 42% requiring corrections. Laboratory errors accounted for most issues, impacting clinical outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Dental Prosthodontics
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Removable partial dentures (RPDs) are crucial for restoring function and aesthetics.
    • Ensuring the accuracy of RPD frameworks is essential for successful clinical outcomes.
    • Commercial dental laboratories produce a significant volume of RPD frameworks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the fabrication accuracy of RPD frameworks produced by commercial dental laboratories.
    • To identify the sources and frequency of inaccuracies in RPD frameworks.
    • To assess the clinical implications of framework inaccuracies.

    Main Methods:

    • 167 RPD frameworks were fabricated by five commercial dental laboratories.
    • Fabrication followed detailed instructions provided by dental students under expert supervision.

  • Framework accuracy was assessed, and discrepancies requiring correction were recorded.
  • Main Results:

    • Less than 50% of the fabricated RPD frameworks were accurate.
    • 42% of frameworks required clinical or laboratory corrections.
    • Laboratory-related issues caused two-thirds of the inaccuracies, while clinical factors contributed one-third.

    Conclusions:

    • Commercial dental laboratories exhibit significant variability in RPD framework accuracy.
    • A substantial proportion of RPD frameworks require adjustments, increasing chair time and costs.
    • Improvements in laboratory procedures and quality control are necessary to enhance RPD framework precision.
