Comparison between relining of ill-fitted maxillary complete denture versus CAD/CAM milling of new one regarding patient satisfaction, denture retention and adaptation.
Article in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06366321 (Using Digital Technology Versus Conventional Relining Procedure for Correction of Loose Maxillary Complete Denture. Crossover Randomized Control Trial.), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract
purposeThis study aimed to compare different treatment modalities to correct ill-fitted maxillary complete denture either by the conventional relining method or by scanning the relining impression and digitally construct a new denture regarding patient satisfaction, denture retention, and adaptation. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwelve edentulous patients suffering from loose maxillary complete dentures were selected, dentures' borders and fitting surfaces were prepared, and relining impressions were taken, the impressions were scanned and the STL files were used for CAD/CAM milling ( computer aided designing/ computer aided manufacturing) of new maxillary dentures (Group A), then the relining impression went through the conventional laboratory steps to fabricate (Group B) maxillary dentures. Both groups were evaluated regarding patient satisfaction by a specially designed questionnaire, retention values were measured by a digital force gauge at denture insertion appointment and two weeks later, geomagic software was used to evaluate dentures adaptation to oral tissues.
resultsBoth groups (A and B) were completely satisfied with their dentures except regarding esthetics, all group A and 50% of group B were satisfied. Both groups showed a statistically significant increase in retention values at the two-week follow-up period compared to those at denture insertion time, with higher values were for group B. Finally, the relined dentures showed better oral tissue adaptation than digitally constructed dentures.
conclusionRelined maxillary dentures showed better retention, esthetics, and denture adaptation with lower cost than digitally constructed maxillary dentures which showed acceptable retention and adaptation, with better time and data saving.
