Retention of 3D-printed versus conventional metal-reinforced acrylic mandibular denture bases: a comparative study
The results of this clinical study led to the following conclusions: Compared to complete denture bases manufactured via conventional manufacturing techniques, those fabricated via 3D-printing offer superior fit and retention. The retention of dentures, irrespective of their type, tends to improve over time.
