Digital Removable Denture Workflows in Dental Education: A Systematic Review and Curriculum Development Exploration.
Synthesis in European journal of dental education : official journal of the Association for Dental Education in Europe, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIn the realm of dental education, the conventional methods of complete denture fabrication have long been the norm. However, these methods often struggle to effectively communicate complex techniques, leaving students lacking comprehensive hands-on experiences. Digitalisation offers a potential solution, promising improved accuracy and a revolutionised curriculum. However, low global adoption rates and a lack of established teaching methodologies necessitate investigation into the challenges and successes of integrating digital removable denture workflows.
aimThis systemic review aims to investigate the integration of digital workflows into removable denture curricula within dental institutions globally.
methodA modified PICO framework guided the literature search focusing on digital removable denture workflows in dental education. A manual search of English-language publications from 2010 to 2024 was conducted, selecting studies meeting pre-defined inclusion criteria. The PRISMA guidelines were followed, including a two-stage independent screening process by two reviewers to assess eligibility.
resultsThe review identified six dental institutions incorporating digitalisation into their removable denture curricula. They utilise 3D-simulation tools for didactic training, while clinical training favours a hybrid approach. Students reported positive experiences, including enhanced learning efficiency, but voiced concerns about technical issues and aesthetic evaluations. Educators noted improvements in assessment quality and student motivation.
conclusionsDigital workflows offer substantial educational advantages, but their integration faces challenges including cost, infrastructure limitations and technological hurdles. Further research and development are crucial to overcome these barriers and establish standardised digital denture education across global dental institutions.
