Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that the colorimetric method presents the same results of the sieving fraction method when applied to quantify the masticatory function. In the colorimetric method, the results are expressed by nanometers after the spectrophotometric evaluation and while in the sieving method the results will be obtained as X50 values which corresponds to the opening of a hypothetical sieve, in mm, where about half of the crushed material is capable of crossing. It will then be made an equivalence relationship between the values in nanometers and mm, by percentage. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that the colorimetric method presents the same results of the sieving fraction method when applied to quantify the masticatory function when applied to quantify the masticatory function for both complete dentate and totally edentulous subjects wearing prostheses. Results will be evaluated as described in the primary outcome. | — |
