Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To evaluate changes in the linear and angular facial parameters of completely edentulous patients under the following conditions: without dentures, with old dentures, and after the installation of new complete dentures, as well as the maintenance of these changes over a five-year follow-up period, using three-dimensional stereophotogrammetric analysis. The changes will be assessed by comparing the values of the parameters at different time points in the study, considering means, standard deviations, and statistically significant differences between groups	—
