    • Abstract:
      Statement of Problem: Studies on the movement of artificial teeth during the manufacturing of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) complete dentures using the custom disk method with milled recesses and on whether the movement is within a clinically acceptable range are lacking.
      Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the trueness and precision of the artificial teeth on custom disks the recesses of which were manufactured using a milling machine and to compare the results with the recesses manufactured using a 3-dimensional (3D) printer.
      Material and Methods: Four types of artificial teeth (maxillary left central incisors [Max-L1], mandibular left central incisors [Man-L1], maxillary left first premolars [Max-L4], and maxillary left first molars [Max-L6]) were prepared. Milling data were created, and 3 of each type of tooth were attached to each disk made up of 3 concentric circles (large, medium, and small). Five each of the 3D printed custom disks and custom disks with milled recesses were milled based on the milling data. Standard tessellation language data were obtained through cone beam computed tomography and superimposed by using a CAD software program. Mean absolute error (MAE) values were calculated to assess trueness and precision; MAE values of artificial teeth in custom disks with milled recesses and 3D printed custom disks were statistically compared by using the 2-way analysis of variance test with 2 factors, 2 types of custom disks and 4 types of artificial teeth, and the Tukey post hoc comparison (α=.05).
      Results: Regarding position trueness, the MAE value of Man-L1 on the milling custom disk was significantly lower than that of the 3D printed custom disk (P<.001), whereas the MAE values of Max-L4 and Max-L6 on the milling custom disk were significantly higher than those on the 3D printed custom disk (P<.001). No significant difference was found in the MAE value of the position trueness of Max-L1 between the milling and 3D printed custom disks. Regarding position precision, the MAE values of Max-L1, Man-L1, and Max-L4 on the milling custom disk were significantly lower than those on the 3D printed custom disks (P=.002, P<.001, P=.025, respectively). However, no significant difference was seen in the MAE value of position precision of Max-L6 between the milling and 3D printed custom disks (P=.180) CONCLUSIONS: Movement of artificial teeth during the manufacture of dentures using the custom disk method and custom disks with milled recesses was within a clinically acceptable range.
