Brief summary
The purpose of this randomized, double-blind, 2-period crossover trial was to assess the satisfaction of edentulous patients and their oral health impact profile when provided with complete dentures fabricated using the conventional and simplified techniques.
Detailed description
40 completely edentulous patients, aged 40-85 years, with no relevant medical conditions, seeking complete dentures at a university hospital were included in this study. Those were randomly divided into two groups (n=20). Each group received two sets of dentures, the Group (S) were given the dentures constructed using the simplified technique first while the Group (C) received the dentures constructed using the conventional technique. After 1 month of the first set of dentures delivery, participants were asked to rate their general satisfaction on a 10-cm visual analogue scale in addition to their satisfaction regarding comfort, retention, stability, efficiency of mastication and speaking. Participants were also asked to fill the 20-item oral health impact profile for edentulous patients (OHIP-EDENT). Thereafter, each group of patients were given the set of dentures constructed using the other technique, given instructions and recalled after 1 month to evaluate the alternate set of dentures. 2 Prosthodontists performed all the clinical procedures and 1 laboratory technician performed the laboratory procedures. The results of the study were analyzed using Wilcoxon-signed rank test at significance level of 0.05.
