Otto Steinmassl1 & Herbert Dumfahrt2 & Ingrid Grunert2 & Patricia-Anca Steinmassl2. Objectives Resin polymerisation shrinkage reduces the congruence of the denture base with denture-bearing tissues and thereby decreases the retention of conventionally fabricated dentures.

Otto Steinmassl 1 ID , Vincent Offermanns 1 ID , Wolfgang Stöckl 2, Herbert Dumfahrt 2, Ingrid Grunert 2 and Patricia-Anca Steinmassl 2,* ID. Abstract: Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) denture base manufacturers claim to produce their resin pucks under high heat and pressure.

O. Steinmassl1 | H. Dumfahrt2 | I. Grunert2 | P.-A. Steinmassl2.  Micro-organisms
colonising dentures have been linked to not only local mucosal inflammation,1 caries and periodontitis of residual teeth2 but also disseminated infections. Aspirated denture plaque has been shown to cause pneumonia3 and can therefore be a severe health threat for patients with decreased immunity.4

Murali Srinivasan1 & Yoann Cantin1 & Albert Mehl 2 & Harald Gjengedal3 & Frauke Müller1,4 & Martin Schimmel1,5. Objectives This study aimed to compare the trueness of one type of CAD/CAM milled complete removable dental prostheses (CRDPs) with injection-molding and conventionally manufactured CRDPs.

Paola C. Saponaro, DDS, MS,a Burak Yilmaz, DDS, PhD,b William Johnston, PhD,c Reza H. Heshmati, DDS, MPH, MS,d and Edwin A. McGlumphy, DDS, MSe. Purpose. The purpose of this retrospective survey study was to assess patient preferences and satisfaction when treated with digitally fabricated CDs, by using a questionnaire.

Paola C. Saponaro, DDS, MS,a Burak Yilmaz, DDS, PhD,b Reza H. Heshmati, DDS, MPH, MS,c and Edwin A. McGlumphy, DDS, MSd.  Purpose. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate clinician experience with digital CD fabrication attempted in a 2-visit protocol. The actual number of appointments required for insertion and the number of postinsertion adjustment visits, and whether the incidence of treatment complications was related to operator experience were recorded and evaluated.

Abdulaziz AlHelal, BDS, MS,a Hamad S. AlRumaih, BDS, MSD,b Mathew T. Kattadiyil, BDS, MDS, MS,c Nadim Z. Baba, DMD, MSD,d and Charles J. Goodacre, DDS, MSDe. Purpose. The purpose of this clinical study was to compare the retention values of conventional heat-polymerized denture bases with those of digitally milled maxillary denture bases.

Associate Professor, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Prosthodontics, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Objective: The purpose of this study was to inspect the effects of mechanical polishing and chemical polishing on the surface roughness (Ra) and contact angle (wettability) of heat-cured, auto-cured and CAD/CAM denture
base acrylic resins.

on the retention of milled and heat-activated denture bases.

Thomas J. Balshi, DDS, PhD, FACP1, Glenn J. Wolfinger, DMD, FACP2, Stephen F. Balshi, MBE3, Myron Nevins, DDS4, David M. Kim, DDS, DMSc5: Osseointegrated dental implants have become an integral factor in the replacement of missing teeth.

Shweta Tawde BDS, Donald Belles DDS, MS. Objective: To introduce an effective method of fabricating complete dentures in 2-3 appointments.

J. Uszynsky B.Sc., M. Lamble, B.S., M. Mansour D.D.S. M.S.D., W. Lim D.D.S. M.S.D. and W. Wagner. Ph. D.. It is hypothesize that digital dentures will perform better with respect to fit, retention, patient satisfaction and comfort in comparison to traditional dentures.

L. Infante DDS, B. Yilmaz DDS, PhD, E. McGlumpy DDS, MS and I. Finger, DDS, MS.  The fabrication of milled complete dental prostheses with digital scanning technology may decrease the number of appointments.

J. L. Lozada DDS, A. Garbacea DDS, MSD, C. J. Goodacre, DDS, MSDc and M. T. Kattadiyil, BDS, MDS, MSd. This article describes a unique prosthetically driven protocol that uses computer-aided engineering to develop sophisticated, scientific algorithms that guide the fabrication of a conversion denture using the AvaDent Digital Denture system

Mathew T. Kattadiyil, BDS, MDS, MS,a Rami Jekki, DDS,b Charles J. Goodacre, DDS, MSD,c and Nadim Z. Baba, DMD, MSDd. Purpose. This prospective clinical study was conducted to compare clinical treatment outcomes, patient satisfaction, and dental student preferences for digitally and conventionally processed CRDP in a predoctoral setting.
