INTRODUCTION: Titanium frameworks have for the last decade been discussed as an option to conventional gold alloy castings in implant dentistry. So far no reports have been made to show milled titanium frameworks and their difference in precision compared to conventional castings, and how laboratory handling andfusing of veneers to the titanium frames affect the precision of fit.
PURPOSE: To investigate and compare the precision of fabrication in repeatedly produced Computer Numeric Controlled milled frameworks with conventional castings, and to analyze the distortion from application of different veneering materials (porcelain and acrylic resin veneers).
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty identical titanium frameworks were fabricated by means of a Computer Numeric Controlled milling technique for one and the same master model. Five conventional frameworks were cast as a control group to the same model. The
frames were measured with regard to fit in a coordinate measuring machine linked to a computer. Measurements were made during different stages of handling of the titanium framework, and after veneering materials had been applied.
RESULTS: The Computer Numeric Controlled frameworks showed a statistically (p<0.05) better fit and precision of fabrication compared to conventional castings. The application of veneering material did not statistically (p>0.05) affect the fit of the titanium frameworks.
CONCLUSION: It is possible to fabricate implant supported titanium frameworks by means of the present Computer Numeric Controlled technique with very high precision and repeatability.
