“…Consequently, there is a more extensive literature base available for milled complete dentures as compared to 3D printed complete dentures. Although the technology is relatively new, there is growing evidence that the clinical outcomes of digitally fabricated dentures trend toward favorable ‐ particularly for milled dentures 11–15 . Digitally fabricated dentures generated by milling are typically milled from a puck of poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA).…”

“…This has been studied with milled dentures showing as good 17 or improved 18–22 fit/retention than conventional processing (press pack, pour and injection methods). Other studies have shown dentures fabricated by milling have improved tensile strength and fracture toughness 12,16 . These properties are further improved with a monolithic puck, where the teeth and denture base are milled out of the same material, from a single puck (Avadent, AZ; Ivoclar, NY).…”

Purpose The purpose of this retrospective, cross‐sectional study is to evaluate if there is a difference in number of visits (including fabrication and postoperative) and remake rate when comparing conventionally fabricated and digitally fabricated complete dentures by dental students in a predoctoral student dental clinic. Materials and methods This two‐year retrospective cross‐sectional study consisted of a chart review for patients receiving maxillary and/or mandibular complete dentures between 2017 and 2019 (n = 314) at the UNC Adams School of Dentistry predoctoral student clinic. No control group was determined for this study. Data were extracted for 242 conventional dentures and 39 digital dentures. Objective treatment outcomes were obtained for each included denture: the number of patient appointments from preliminary impressions to denture placement, the number of postoperative visits, any complications noted, and any need for remakes. Fisher's Exact Test and Cochran‐Mantel‐Haenszel analysis were completed with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Results For the number of visits from preliminary impression to placement, 50% of conventionally fabricated dentures had 6 or more visits, while only 5% of digitally fabricated dentures had 6 or more visits. This difference for the number of patient visits was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Additionally, conventionally fabricated dentures required an average of 2‐3 postoperative visits, whereas digitally fabricated dentures required 1‐2 postoperative visits. This difference was also statistically significant (p < 0.05). For the number of dentures requiring remake, there was no statistical difference (p = 0.1904). Conclusions When comparing conventionally fabricated and digitally fabricated dentures in the predoctoral clinic, the digitally fabricated dentures required fewer patient appointments from start to finish, and fewer postoperative appointments than conventionally fabricated dentures. Fewer visits may be an important consideration for patients, especially those with limited access to care.

“…Auf der Basis der vorliegenden In-vitro-Studien bietet die digitale Fertigung von Totalprothesen durch die Nutzung industriell präfabrizierter Materialien werkstoffkundliche Vorteile hinsichtlich der mechanischen Eigenschaften und ermöglicht eine verbesserte Passung [1]. Insbesondere durch die Verbesserung der mechanischen Eigenschaften erscheint eine Reduktion des Frakturrisikos möglich.…”

“…Wie erste Untersuchungen zur Zeit-und Kosteneffizienz belegen, eröffnet die digitale Fertigung von Prothesen ein signifikantes Potenzial für Zeit-und Kostenersparnisse in Praxis und Labor [24]. Dieser Aspekt ist neben den dargelegten qualitätsverbessernden Aspekten ein wichtiger Punkt für die zukünftige Bedeutung des digitalen Workflows im Bereich der abnehmbaren Prothetik [1,7].…”

PurposeGaining knowledge on the extent of digital technology implementation in dental education and the barriers to it will help inform future directions to promote the use of such technology and will enhance dental education. This study aimed to investigate the utilization of digitally fabricated removable prostheses and the potential obstacles to implementing such technology in US dental schools.MethodsA survey was developed and distributed to the restorative dentistry department chairs and postdoctoral prosthodontic program directors. The survey delivery protocol included follow‐up emails 1 week, 3 weeks, and 4 weeks after the initial email. The collected data were analyzed descriptively.ResultsThe response rate was 85% and 45% for predoctoral and postdoctoral prosthodontic programs, respectively. The results showed that 88.06% of the predoctoral programs and 95.65% of the postdoctoral prosthodontic programs implement digital complete dentures in the curriculum; however, the digital removable partial dentures implementation rate was recorded at 70.77% in predoctoral programs and 61.9% in postdoctoral prosthodontic programs.ConclusionsDental schools are challenged by cost, design software limitations, IT and laboratory support, and faculty training. Multifaceted support is instrumental in further implementing digital removable prosthodontics into dental education.
