| Adaptation - It is expected to find better adaptation to the supporting tissues of the removable partial denture in the experimental group (with Peek) in relation to the control group (Cr-Co alloy) during the evaluation period. The evaluation will be carried out clinically, using the replica technique.;Masticatory performance and efficiency - It is expected to find increased performance and masticatory efficiency in the experimental group compared to the control group during the evaluation period. It will be evaluated through the sieve system, and calculated using the Rosin-Rammler equation (obtaining X50 and b).;Maximum bite force - It is expected to find an increase in the maximum bite force of the experimental group compared to the control group during the evaluation period. It will be evaluated through a force transducer composed of pressure sensors and registered in Kilogram-force (Kgf), and later, transformed into Newton (N).;Diet - It is expected to find improvements in the food quality of the volunteers of the experimental group compared to the control group during the evaluation period. They will be evaluated through a food diary for 3 days and the nutritional status of the volunteers will be established after tabulating the food data in free software (Dietbox®), with reference to the Brazilian Food Composition Table (NEPA).;Patient satisfaction with prosthetic treatment - It is expected to find an improvement in the satisfaction of the volunteers in the experimental group compared to the control group during the evaluation period. It will be evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of 100 mm, where the patient must indicate the satisfaction about stability, comfort, ability to chew, ability to speak, ease of cleaning and aesthetic appearance. The level of satisfaction can be ranging from “completely dissatisfied” and “completely satisfied”, and the average value must be obtained at from the sum of the seven questions. | — |
