Comparing wear of 3d-printed denture teeth in full dentures
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have no natural teeth left in either your upper or lower jaw (fully edentulous) and are getting new complete dentures.
- You are currently wearing full dentures, or an upper denture with a lower denture or overdenture.
- You are able to come to all scheduled follow-up visits for the study duration.
- You do not have severe teeth grinding or clenching habits, severe dry mouth, dementia, or severe depression.
- The space between your upper and lower jaw is at least 38 mm, and you do not have active implant problems (if you have lower implants).

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.
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 methods of making dental molds for people who have no upper teeth and are getting full upper dentures. It tests whether a 3D-printed mold works as well as the traditional one.
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.
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 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.
