Abstract:

BACKGROUND: As the industry of customised denture develops rapidly, a series of problems such as non-standard usage of the raw materials, poor quality of employees, uneven quality have emerged. But comprehensive research of the whole industry is not reported yet.
OBJECTIVE: To comprehensively analyze the running state of customised denture manufacturing enterprises in Sichuan and point out pertinent suggestions.
METHODS: The related data of customised denture in Sichuan was collected through questionnaires, telephone communication, on-site inspection and expert discussion seminar and other forms. These data was statistically analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Customised denture manufacturing enterprises in Sichuan are still characterized by a small-scale, less advanced equipments and lower professional and technical ability of employees, but their sales are in steady and rapid growth, and the industry is in high-speed development. Thereafter, the instructional suggestions are put forward for the further development of the industry of customised denture from the perspective of regulation.
