ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new type of temporary partial denture made using digital 3D printing technology. The goal is to see if these 3D printed dentures provide better comfort and fit compared to traditional dentures that are made using older methods. The focus is on how these dentures affect patients' oral health and overall quality of life, especially for those who need dentures for aesthetic reasons or as a temporary solution during dental treatments.

To be eligible for this study, participants should be adults aged 30 to 55 who have specific dental conditions that allow for proper measuring of the dentures’ fit. This includes patients who have some natural teeth but may need temporary dentures. It’s important that participants have healthy gums and teeth and are willing to attend follow-up appointments. However, individuals with certain health conditions, such as Parkinson's disease or allergies to denture materials, will not be able to participate. If you join the study, you can expect regular check-ins to evaluate how well the denture fits and how it affects your daily life.
