ListOutcomeTime frameDescriptionSource
PrimaryClinical effectiveness6 months
comparing clinical effectiveness of directly 3D printed retainers vs thermoformed retainers fabricated by both positive and vacuum-pressure techniques was done using Geomagic software measurement of ( Little's irregularity index , inter-molar, inter-canine widths) between original and follow up scans. unit for all variables measured was mm.
ClinicalTrials.gov
Secondarypatient satisfaction6 months
comparing directly 3D printed retainers vs thermoformed retainers fabricated by both positive and vacuum-pressure techniques regarding patient satisfaction was done through visual analogue questionnaire on both day of delivery and follow up visit after 6 months. The questionnaire consisted of the following questions: Q1 Do you find your retainer comfortable? Q2 Do you like your retainer colour? Q3 Does the retainer have any weird taste?
