| Abstract | ||
| Aim: This study was conducted to compare between conventional and digital complete dentures as regard prosthesis retention, level of bacteria and/ or yeast present. Subjects and Methods: Ten completely edentulous patients every patient was received conventional and digital complete dentures. The patients were allowed to wear each denture, and the test of retention for both dentures was measured. Plaque samples were collected from intaglio surfaces of complete dentures to culture for any colonization of bacteria and/or yeasts. Results: When compared conventional and digital complete dentures there were a significant increase in retention in digital denture and a significant increase in microbial growth in conventional denture. Conclusion: According this study the retention of digital denture significant higher and digital dentures showed less microbial colonization than conventional dentures. | ||
