Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| rate of failures leading to replacement of denture | 5 years | number of dentures |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| functional (e.g. retention) properties of the dentures | 5 years | Evaluated according to adapted FDI criteria (grade 1-4). Lower scores mean a better outcome. |
| biological (e.g. plaque accumulation) properties of the dentures | 5 years | Evaluated according to adapted FDI criteria (grade 1-4). Lower scores mean a better outcome. |
| aesthetic (e.g. surface staining) properties of the dentures | 5 years | Evaluated according to adapted FDI criteria (grade 1-4). Lower scores mean a better outcome. |
