Brief summary
The aim of the present study was to evaluate open faced maxillary complete denture with soft acryl resin wing versus conventional heat cured maxillary complete denture regarding the retention and patient satisfaction.
Interventions
DEVICEConventional denture
Patients in this group received conventional maxillary and mandibular complete dentures. The patients used these dentures for 45 days. Then, the conventional maxillary denture was replaced by open faced denture with soft acryl resin wing.
DEVICEMaxillary open-faced denture
Patients in this group received a maxillary open faced denture with soft acryl resin wing and a conventional mandibular complete denture. The patients used these dentures for 45 days. Afterward, the maxillary open-faced denture was replaced by one with a conventional construction.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Denture retention | up to 45 days | Evaluated using a universal testing machine to exert a vertical dislodging force on the denture. A stainless-steel loop was attached to the geometric center of the denture using autopolymerizing acrylic resin. The center of the labial frenum (point A) and the hamular notches (points B&C) were located in the denture base. The distance halfway between points B and C was measured, and the location was marked on the posterior border of the denture base (point D). Half the distance between points A and D was marked as the denture base center (point E). A force transmission device was used to transmit the dislodging vertical force from the universal testing machine to the denture. A facebow was used to set the Frankfort plane of the patient parallel to the floor. After orienting the participant to the testing machine, it was set to exert a dislodging force at a rate of 50 mm/min. The test was repeated 3 times for each denture and the mean was calculated. |
| Patient satisfaction with esthetics | up to 45 days | Participant satisfaction with esthetics was evaluated by using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The level of satisfaction was indicated as a sign on a 10 cm VAS, labeled with (not at all satisfied) at the zero end with (completely satisfied) at the other end. The distance (mm) between the zero point and the sign marked by the patient on the 10-cm-line was measured and expressed in percentage. |
| Patient satisfaction with comfort | up to 45 days | Participant satisfaction with comfort was evaluated by using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The level of satisfaction was indicated as a sign on a 10 cm VAS, labeled with (not at all satisfied) at the zero end with (completely satisfied) at the other end. The distance (mm) between the zero point and the sign marked by the patient on the 10-cm-line was measured and expressed in percentage. |
