- Population
- Partially edentulous people requiring a tooth- and tissue-supported (distal-extension) removable partial denture
- Intervention
- Altered-cast impression technique (ACIP), polyether
- Comparison
- One-piece cast technique (OPC), polyether
- Outcome
- Denture base adaptation (buccal shelf and ridge crest)
Altered-cast impression technique (ACIP), polyether led to lower denture base adaptation (buccal shelf and ridge crest) compared with one-piece cast technique (OPC), polyether; GRADE not reported.

How reviews are matched to this question
Reviews word the same question differently. Four decision models (TypeSafe's Jev, Liquid AI's d1-ultra, SubQ Snap and Baseten's Elephant) judged each wording of the population, intervention, comparator and outcome against the others; two wordings count as the same when at least three of them agree and none clearly disagrees, and findings count as this question only when all four elements match. Timing, setting and subgroup never split a question: they are shown on each finding.
