Summary

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.
