Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Participants: Sixteen edentulous adult patients in the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry Student Clinic who are seeking removable complete dentures.
Procedures (methods): Two complete sets of dentures will be fabricated for each subject: one using the conventional process (A) and the other using a digital process (B). Variability will be assessed by the research team, the treating dental students, an independent prosthodontist, and the patients through quantitative measures. Case selection and results analysis will be evaluated with recognition of the Prosthodontic Diagnostic Index.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The Investigators have decided to conduct the study using the ABB/BAA crossover design, which does not require a wash-out period and will permit testing and discounting of a possible carryover effect. In addition, this design is more appropriate for a small sample size than the AB/BA design.
The investigators are adding to the scant literature on digital dentures, information that has never before been studied - the retention, aesthetics, and stability of digital dentures compared to conventional dentures. Additionally, the investigators will have longitudinal data on these characteristics regarding digital dentures.
If the Functional Assessment of Dentures (FAD) and the patient evaluation show positive results for the digital dentures, this could lead to increased use of the Computer -Aided Design/ Computer -Aided Manufacturing (CADCAM) fabrication method which, in turn, would allow greater numbers of people to benefit from the advantages of the digital dentures as described earlier in this application (e.g., a better fit, fewer visits with less time in the chair, less biofilm formation, etc.)

Complete CADCAM dentures
Arm 2-Standard Treatment Sequence for Digital Dentures in a Dental School Clinic (5 appointments):
Appointment 1: Exam, diagnosis, \& tray selection (begin impressions)
Appointment 2: Definitive impressions and Maxillomandibula relations
Appointment 3: Wax-trial arrangement
Appointment 4: Insertion and instructions for care of definitive prosthesis
Appointment 5: Post adjustment/s (Less post insertion adjustments are anticipated due to CADCAM milling of the denture base and less polymerization shrinkage
