Abstract
Introduction: Complete denture rehabilitation remains the most common choice for treating edentulism. 3D printed dentures have evolved as a new treatment modality to decrease fabrication time increase the predictability of the patient and accost an effective option compared to the milled denture. Aim: The study aimed to compare patient satisfaction of 3D printed complete dentures to conventional ones. Materials and Methods: After sample size calculation and ethical committee approval, 20 patients were selected, then randomly and equally distributed into two groups (n=10): Group A received a conventional heat-cured acrylic complete dentures and Group B received 3D printed complete dentures. Participants answered a denture satisfaction questionnaire after three months of denture delivery. Results: Printed maxillary denture wearers were significantly more satisfied than acrylic wearers with aesthetics and retention (p-value 0.05 ≥), while there was no significant difference between 3D printed and acrylic complete denture wearers for denture satisfaction, comfort, and speech (P-value ≥ 0.05(. Conclusions: Within the limitation of this study, it was concluded that 3D printed dentures showed better patient satisfaction compared to conventional heat-cured acrylic dentures, but this difference was not statistically significant for some patient satisfaction criteria such as general satisfaction, comfort, and speech.
