dc.description.abstractStatement of problem. Denture tooth displacement may have a significant impact on denture occlusion. This aspect has seldom been investigated, especially for digital denture processing techniques. Purpose. The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the accuracy of tooth position with milled digital dentures processed without physical casts. Material and methods. Ten maxillary and 10 mandibular dentures designed from intraoral scans, milled, and processed without physical casts were investigated. The standard tessellation language (STL) files of the digitally designed dentures were compared with the scan of the dentures after processing (milling the denture base, milling teeth in a complete arch, and then bonding teeth into the base). The STL files were superimposed by using a surface-matching software program. After a preliminary alignment, the STL meshes were trimmed and reoriented; then, the final alignment was carried out by using the cameo surface. Six reference points (the mesiobuccal cusp on the most distal molar, the canine cusp, the middle of the incisal edge of the central incisor on both the left and the right side) were selected to measure tooth displacements along the X-, Y-, and Z-axes, corresponding (from the preliminary reorientation) to anteroposterior, mediolateral, and occlusal displacement, respectively. Tooth position accuracy was assessed by using median and interquartile range values. Univariate and multivariate statistical analyses were used to investigate the significance of the extent of displacements, as well as differences among displacement directions, reference teeth, side, and denture arch type (a=.05). Results. Only the median (0.2 mm; interquartile range: 0.27 mm) occlusal displacement was significantly different from zero. A generalized estimated equation model addressing occlusal displacement as a dependent variable showed no significant effect of tooth type, side, or denture arch type, either alone or in combination. Conclusions. The tooth position of both maxillary and mandibular milled digital dentures processed without physical casts was accurate in the anteroposterior and mediolateral directions. Occlusal displacement seemed to be within the range of clinical acceptability; its consistency throughout the arch allowed optimization or compensation at the design or manufacturing step.
