Conditions
Keywords
Nylon denture base and PEEK partial denture
Brief summary
Evaluation of the muscle activity of masseter in tooth borne partial denture wearers (class III modification 1 Kennedy's classification) with two different denture base materials (Breflex and PEEK) by means of electromyograph.
Interventions
Partial denture fabricated from Bre.flex material.
Partial denture fabricated from PEEK material.
Sponsors
Study design
Masking description
Only statistician will be blinded as the 2 materials have different colors The patients: they won't be aware of the lab procedures till finishing and delivery of the dentures. The outcome assessor: the assessor who will assess the muscular activity will be blinded.
