简要总结
Statement of problem: 3D printed denture base resin is needed to reinforce Purpose: To evaluate the effects of adding nano-ZrO2 and nano-TiO2 on microbial colonization and patient satisfaction with 3D-printed maxillary complete dentures.
Materials and Methods: Twenty-four patients who needed complete dentures were randomly distributed into three equal groups. Group I: Patients used maxillary complete dentures 3D printed without additives. Group II: Patients used maxillary complete dentures 3D after reinforcement by Nano-ZrO2 (0.4%) by Wt. Group III: Patients used maxillary complete dentures 3D printed after reinforcement by Nano-TiO2 (0.4%) by Wt. For microbial evaluation, a cotton swab was taken from the mucosa and the intaglio surface of maxillary dentures, and microbial colonization was evaluated by calculating the number of colony-forming units of S. aureus on mannitol salt agar plates and C. albicans on Sabouraud's dextrose agar plates after 48 hours of incubation at insertion, 6 months, 12 months and 18 months. Patient satisfaction was evaluated 15 days after insertion and at 6, 12, and 18 months. The values of microbial colonization and patient satisfaction were analyzed via repeated-measures ANOVA followed by Tukey's multiple comparison test.
详细描述
This study aims to compare the effect of 3D printed denture base without nanoparticles and 3D printed denture base reinforced with ZrO2 and TiO2 nanoparticles on completely edentulous patients, as regards:
- Microbial colonization.
- Patient satisfaction.
The following steps will be carried out for all patients:
- Conventional primary and final impressions will be made for each patient
- Master casts (upper and lower) and occlusion blocks will be scanned by an extra-oral scanner.
- Files in standard tessellation language (STL) format of master casts and jaw relation records will be imported to the software platform. The software will enable virtually simultaneous mounting and aligning. Each denture will have two STL files that will be printed separately: one for the denture base and one for the teeth, using a 3D printer.29
- For Group Ι, the designed dentures STL files will be sent to the 3D printer software. Pink denture base resin will be used to print denture bases without nanoparticles.
- For Group II, Pink denture base resin reinforced by Nanoparticles (ZrO2) will be used to print denture bases.
- For Group Ш, Pink denture base resin reinforced by Nanoparticles (TiO2) will be used to print denture bases.
- White teeth resin will be utilized for teeth printing for all groups. Finally, teeth will be attached to recessed pockets in the dentures bases via resin. Followed by finishing. Eventually, dentures will be placed in the post-curing unit.
All patients will be given similar post insertion instructions and a regular oral and denture hygiene protocol.

结局指标
主要结局
Antimicrobial effect
时间窗: 18 months
Cotton swabs were taken from the mucosa and the intaglio surface of maxillary dentures, and microbial colonization was evaluated by calculating the number of colony-forming units of S. aureus on mannitol salt agar plates and C. albicans on Sabouraud's dextrose agar plates after 48 hours of incubation at insertion, 6 months, 12 months and 18 months.
Patient satisfaction
时间窗: 18 months
Patient satisfaction was evaluated 15 days after insertion and at 6, 12, and 18 months. Patients were requested to assess their overall satisfaction with their dentures through the visual analog scale. The patients were asked five questions: "How satisfied were you with your prosthesis considering aesthetics, speech, masticatory efficiency, hygiene, and comfort?" A ten-point scale was used to evaluate each question; the minimum score is zero, while the maximum score is ten. Higher scores mean a better outcome.
