Denture printing thickness may influence fungus buildup

NCT ID NCT07303530

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether the printing layer thickness of 3D-printed dentures affects how much Candida fungus grows on them. Ten adults with no teeth will try dentures printed with different layer thicknesses. Researchers will measure fungus levels on the denture surface to see if thickness makes a difference.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

3D-printed denture base with varying printing layer thickness

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help dentists choose denture printing settings that reduce fungal growth, improving oral health for denture wearers.

What could go wrong

This is a very small early study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It only looks at fungus growth, not overall denture comfort or durability.
