Digital denture relining put to the test in small study
NCT ID NCT05955989
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how well soft lining materials bond to denture bases made by digital or conventional methods. Twelve patients with complete dentures were enrolled. Researchers measured how much the dentures stayed in place, how the bite forces changed, and how satisfied patients were. The goal was to see if digital dentures work as well as traditional ones when relined.
