Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Loss of quality of life was observed mainly in users of removable full dentures, followed by users of removable partial dentures verified by the analysis of the OHIP-14 questionnaire, which presented worse scores for these groups. ;Masticatory efficiency loss was observed mainly in users of removable full dentures, followed by users of removable partial dentures, which was verified by the worst scores found for the analysis of chewing gum efficiency, both for the subjective and objective evaluation by the software. Viewgum and for the analysis of the functional bite limitation scale. | — |
Secondary

|---|---|
| Compromised quality of life was verified from the perspective of the user of removable total prosthesis and removable partial prosthesis using the visual analog scale.;Impaired mandibular function was found, especially in the groups using removable dentures and partial dentures compared to the control group through the Jaw Function Limitation Scale (JFLS-20) questionnaire. | — |
