3D-printed denture teeth compared with traditional ones for wear and muscle use
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares new 3D-printed denture teeth with traditional denture teeth to see which wears less and works better with your jaw muscles. If you need complete dentures, this trial may help find a more durable and comfortable option for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be completely toothless in both your upper and lower jaw (no natural teeth left).
- You must be between 21 and 70 years old.
- Your upper and lower jaws should line up in a normal, healthy way (called a Class I bite).
- You must not have jaw joint problems (like pain, clicking, or locking).
- You must not have any serious long-term illness that affects your muscles or nerves, such as diabetes or Parkinson's disease.

This study compares how well 3D-printed denture teeth wear down over time compared to traditional teeth. You will get new upper and lower complete dentures made with digital technology, and the study will check how they hold up during normal use.
This study compares two ways of making dental impressions for 3D-printed overdentures (removable tooth replacements held by implants). It looks for people who need new lower-jaw implants and are otherwise healthy.
This study compares two ways of taking molds (impressions) of your gums when making new dentures. The goal is to see which method gives a better fit, which could make your dentures more comfortable and secure.
This study tests whether the way 3D-printed dentures are made affects how they fit. It aims to improve comfort and function for people who have no teeth and need a complete upper denture.
This study compares two ways of making 3D-printed dentures to see which one fits better, works better, and makes patients happier. It's for people who are completely missing all teeth in both jaws.
This study compares two ways of making complete dentures (upper and lower teeth replacements): using newer 3D printing technology versus traditional milling methods. Participants will wear these dentures for 5 years and report how well they work and feel.
