Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess the quality of prostheses in terms of resting interocclusal distance (RID), occlusion, articulation, retention of the maxillary prosthesis and stability of the maxillary and mandibular prostheses. The quality of printed prostheses is expected to be equal to or greater than the quality of conventional prostheses.;To evaluate the effect of hygiene protocols on biofilm control (prevalence of microorganisms, microbial load, biofilm removal, cellular metabolism and formation of hyphae or pseudohyphae of Candida spp.). It is expected that the two hygiene protocols will be similarly effective in controlling biofilm, regardless of the type of prosthesis.;To evaluate the effect of hygiene protocols on color changes in prostheses. It is expected that the two hygiene protocols will present similar results regarding color changes, regardless of the type of prosthesis.;Assess the bite force using a gnathometer. The bite force with printed dentures is expected to be equal to or greater than the bite force with conventional dentures.;To evaluate masticatory efficiency using the colorimetric method and chewing gum. It is expected that masticatory efficiency with printed prostheses will be equal to or greater than masticatory efficiency with conventional prostheses.;To assess the activity of the masseter and temporal muscles using surface electromyography. It is expected that muscle activity with printed prostheses will be equal to or greater than muscle activity with conventional prostheses.;To assess aesthetic changes using stereophotogrammetry. It is expected that the facial aesthetic changes promoted by printed prostheses will be equal to or greater than the facial aesthetic changes promoted by conventional prostheses.;To assess the quality of life of participants using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-Edent) questionnaire. It is expected that the quality of life promoted by printed prostheses will be equal to or greater than the quality of life promoted by convent | — |
