Teeth

2.2K
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Summary

Digital complete dentures (D-CD) significantly improve patient satisfaction, comfort, and retention compared to conventional complete dentures (C-CD). Most patients preferred the digital option, highlighting the benefits of modern CAD/CAM workflows in dental prosthetics.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Prosthetics and Biomaterials
  • Digital Dentistry and CAD/CAM Technologies
  • Patient-Reported Outcome Measures

Background:

  • Patient satisfaction is a key metric in rehabilitating edentulous patients.
  • Digital workflows offer an alternative to conventional complete denture fabrication.
  • Limited comparative data exists on patient satisfaction between conventional and digital dentures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare patient satisfaction between conventional complete dentures (C-CD) and digital complete dentures (D-CD) in maxillary edentulous patients.
  • To assess changes in patient perceptions over time and their final prosthesis preference.
  • To evaluate comfort, retention, speech, esthetics, and need for adjustments.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective, randomized crossover clinical trial with 40 completely maxillary edentulous patients.
  • Participants received both C-CD and D-CD for 6-month periods.
  • Patient satisfaction was assessed using a 10-item questionnaire at 6 and 12 months.

Main Results:

  • Digital complete dentures (D-CD) showed significantly higher patient satisfaction in comfort, retention, speech, esthetics, and fewer adjustments compared to C-CD.
  • D-CD also demonstrated significantly better comfort and required fewer post-insertion adjustments.
  • 70% of patients preferred the digital denture as their final prosthesis.

Conclusions:

  • Digital fabrication technology significantly enhances patient satisfaction for complete dentures over conventional methods.
  • The study supports the integration of digital workflows, such as CAD/CAM, in dental prosthetics.
  • Digitally fabricated dentures offer comparable overall satisfaction with notable improvements in comfort and patient preference.
