Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Clinician's assessment of the retention of the 3-D printed denture bases at jaw registration (Study Clinical Visit 3) and denture fit (Study Clinical Visit 5) using a 5-point Likert scale 2. Clinician's assessment of the stability of the 3-D printed denture bases at jaw registration (Study Clinical Visit 3) and denture fit (Study Clinical Visit 5) using a 5-point Likert scale 3. Clinicians preference for the base plate of the jaw registration blocks with options for 'no preference - both satisfactory' and 'no preference - both unsatisfactory' at jaw registration (Study Clinical Visit 3) 4. Patient assessment of the finished dentures for comfort using a 5-point Likert scale at denture fit (Study Clinical Visit 5) 5. Patient assessment of the finished dentures for stability using a 5-point Likert scale at denture fit (Study Clinical Visit 5) 6. Patient assessment of the finished dentures for aesthetics using a 5-point Likert scale at denture fit (Study Clinical Visit 5) 7. Reason given by the participant for their preferences for the dentures assessed using an open-ended question at denture fit (Study Clinical Visit 5)(to be analysed qualitatively) 8. Participant's opinion of the aesthetics of the dentures assessed using an open-ended question at denture fit (Study Clinical Visit 5) (to be analysed qualitatively) | — |
