3D-printed dentures for people without teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have no teeth in your upper jaw (or both jaws) and need a complete denture.
- You are between 50 and 70 years old.
- You have enough space between your upper and lower jaws for a denture.
- You are in good overall health and have no active oral diseases.
- You do not grind or clench your teeth (parafunctional habits) and have no jaw joint problems (TMJ disorders).

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 full dentures: the usual method and a newer digital (computer-based) method. Participation may help you get a well-fitting denture and help improve future care for people who need full dentures.
This study compares two different methods for making full sets of dentures (upper and lower) to see which one works better. If you need a full set of new dentures and can attend several appointments, this study might be a good fit for you.
This study compares a new, simplified method for making full dentures (removable replacements for all teeth) with the traditional method. It aims to see if the new approach is as good or better for people who have lost all their teeth on the upper or lower jaw, or both.
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.
