Résumé

The objectives of this study were to quantify the number and type of prosthetic complications associated with 3D-printed implant-supported fixed prostheses (3DISFP) and to evaluate patient satisfaction and oral health-related quality of life over a four-month period.  Fifteen edentulous patients who underwent implant therapy were included in the study. Each patient received a 3D-printed prosthesis using OnX dental resin. Prosthetic complications were documented, and data from the 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) questionnaire were collected at two time points: at enrollment and during a four-month recall. During the four-month evaluation period, a total of nine complications were recorded, with three classified as catastrophic failures. Statistical analysis revealed statistically significant differences in OHIP scores between the preoperative and postoperative assessments (p<0.001). Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that utilizing 3D-printed prostheses with OnX resin represents a viable alternative for long-term implant-supported temporaries. The patients experienced a significant improvement in their oral health-related quality of life. These results suggest that 3D printing technology, combined with the use of OnX resin, holds promise in providing satisfactory clinical outcomes and enhanced patient satisfaction. However, it is important to acknowledge the limitations of this study, and further research is warranted to validate these findings and explore the long-term performance and durability of 3D-printed implant-supported fixed prostheses. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting the effectiveness of 3D printing technology in implant dentistry. The results highlight the potential of 3DISFP with OnX resin to improve oral health-related quality of life in edentulous patients. Continued advancements in 3D printing materials and techniques will likely expand the utilization of these prostheses, ultimately benefiting patients in need of implant-supported restorations.
