Each patient received two implants in the mandibular canine areas with locator attachments to retain the overdentures. According to the overdenture construction technique, all patients were randomly divided into two equal groups: the conventional heat polymerized overdenture group and the 3D-printed overdenture group. The mandibular overdentures were compared and evaluated immediately and after 12 months of insertion regarding mechanical wear of the occlusal surface using 3D digital analysis and occlusal force distribution using a digital occlusal analysis system (Occlusense).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>3d printed group showed significantly higher occlusal surface wear than conventional group after twelve months (T12) with a p value\u2009\u2264\u20090.05. 3d printed group showed significantly more occlusal force distribution than conventional group with a p value\u2009\u2264\u20090.05. Also, there was a significant difference in occlusal force distribution with advance of time for each group, with a p value\u2009\u2264\u20090.05 level of significance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Within the limitations of this study, it was shown that implant overdentures constructed by 3D-printing techniques offer a promising results in distribution of occlusal forces for achieving occlusal equilibration.
