Official title
Effect of Printing Layer Thickness on Growth of Candida Albicans in Completely Edentulous Patients Rehabilitated With 3D-Printed Maxillary Complete Denture Bases: A Randomized Cross-over Study
Overview
In completely edentulous patients rehabilitated with 3D-printed maxillary dentures bases, does the printing layer thickness affect candidal adherence and growth on the fitting surface of dentures.
Detailed description
The trial will follow a cross-over design, where each participant will wear denture bases printed with three different layer thicknesses (25 µm, 50 µm, and 100 µm) at a random order. Each participant will wear each of the three dentures for an 8-week period, with a washout period of two weeks between each thickness.
Interventions
- Device printing layer thickness of denture
denture printed by multiple printing layer thicknesses to assess effect of layer thickness on fungal growth
Primary outcome measures
- Candidal growth [Time frame: 8-10 weeks]
