Keywords
Removable partial dentures, Electro-encephalogram, Mini mental state examination, Controlled type 2 diabetes.
Brief summary
To evaluate the influence of restoring lost posterior occlusal contacts with removable partial denture (RPD) on the brain activity and cognitive function in controlled type 2 diabetic patients
Interventions
DEVICEFlexible partial denture
removable partial dentures (RPDs) were fabricated using thermoplastic resins (flexible RPDs). EEG and MMSE were evaluated before denture delivery and after one month of denture wear.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Brain activity measurement in controlled type 2 diabetic patients wearing RPD. | For each participant the RPD should be worn for one month. | RPDs were fabricated for each participant using thermoplastic resin. The brain activity was assessed using EEG by measuring the alpha waves (Dα/Hz) in controlled type 2 diabetic patients wearing RPDs. EEG records were obtained before denture delivery and one month after denture wear. |
| Cognitive function assessment in controlled type 2 diabetic patients wearing RPD. | For each participant the RPD should be worn for one month. | For the same participates the cognitive function was assessed via MMSE questionnaire. MMSE consists of 12 questions with maximum scoring of 30. The measurements were obtained before denture delivery and one month after denture wear. |
