“…12,13 Additionally, digital technologies have expanded the range of materials available for RPD framework fabrication to include flexible polymers, high-performance polymers (polyetheretherketone, PEEK), and titanium. 12,14 PEEK seems a promising alternative due to its superior esthetics, high mechanical properties, excellent biocompatibility, and stability. 3,15,16 However, concerns remain over the difficulty of polishing the frameworks, and adjustment of clasp retention.…”

PurposeThis review aimed to summarize the evidence on patient‐reported outcomes and clinical performance of digitally fabricated removable partial dentures (RPDs) compared to traditionally fabricated dentures.MethodsThree databases were systematically searched (PubMed, CENTRAL, and Wiley online library) for clinical studies comparing digitally and conventionally fabricated RPDs regardless of data acquisition methods used for fabrication. The Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias assessment tool 2 and the Oxford Center for Evidence‐based Medicine tool were used to assess risk of bias, and level of evidence, respectively. Descriptive narrative analysis was used to summarize data on patient‐reported outcomes, as there were inadequate studies to pool data in a meta‐analysis. A random‐effects model was used to analyze the data of framework fit accuracy.ResultsTen randomized controlled trials were included in the systematic review, and 4 were included in the meta‐analysis. Two studies showed that digitally fabricated RPDs are associated with higher patient satisfaction than conventionally fabricated RPDs (with a mean difference of 12.5 mm on a 100‐satisfaction scale, p = .008). The pooled standardized mean difference for framework fit accuracy was 0.49 (p = 0.02) in favor of conventionally fabricated RPDs, which showed that conventionally fabricated RPDs have a quantitatively better fit compared to digitally fabricated RPDs. However, clinical evaluation studies showed that both frameworks have clinically acceptable fit.ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that digitally fabricated RPDs are associated with higher patient satisfaction compared to conventionally fabricated RPDs. However, the scarcity of literature here warrants the generalization of this conclusion. Both digitally and conventionally fabricated metal RPD frameworks showed acceptable fit clinically.

Recently, digital techniques have revolutionized the production of partial removable dental prostheses (PRDPs). This chapter reviews current systems for PRDP production, how they are done in clinical practice, advantages and limitations, and current literature regarding their clinical performance. Currently, several digital techniques are available in the market for PRDP production including subtractive and additive techniques. Subtractive milling technique is mainly effective for non-metal PRDP, whereas additive techniques are used mainly in metal PRDP. Digital techniques expand the range of materials that can be utilized for PRDP production, including new polymers (PEEK), and facilitate previously difficult procedures such as casting titanium PRDP, which can be produced more easily with digital methods. This review shows that available evidence suggests that these techniques have promising clinical results. Laser sintering resulted in higher patient’s satisfaction compared to conventional PRDP. However, long-term clinical trials are recommended to explore the long-term effects of these techniques. Moreover, this review showed the lack of evidence on the clinical performance of non-metal partial removable dental prostheses.
