Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial Of Oral Health-Related Quality Of Life In Patients Wearing Vacuum Formed Thermoplastic Retainers Constructed On Conventional Stone Models And On 3D Reconstructed Orthodontic Study Model

In dentistry, 3D printing technology is gaining interest. One of the potential application is to construct appliances on 3D reconstructed study models. The purpose of this study is to compare vacuum formed thermoplastic orthodontic retainers (VFR) constructed on conventional orthodontic study models and reconstructed 3D study models by assessing the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) instrument, Little's Irregularity Index (LII) and compliance.
