Altered-cast impression technique (ACIP), polyether vs One-piece cast technique (OPC), polyether

Operator-assessed gingival health of abutment · Partially edentulous people requiring a tooth- and tissue-supported (distal-extension) removable partial denture

It is very uncertain whether altered-cast impression technique (ACIP), polyether changes operator-assessed gingival health of abutment compared with one-piece cast technique (OPC), polyether (very low certainty).

Altered-cast impression technique (ACIP), polyether vs One-piece cast technique (OPC), polyether

Denture base adaptation (buccal shelf and ridge crest) · Partially edentulous people requiring a tooth- and tissue-supported (distal-extension) removable partial denture

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.
