Interventions
This is a non-randomized, double-blind (participants and researchers responsible for data analyses will not know which group the participant belongs), two-arm crossover clinical trial. Experimental gr
the OHIP-EDENT questionnaire will be administered in interview format
2) masticatory performance
using the chewing gum method
the participant will be instructed to perform 20 chewing cycles
the chewed gum will be removed from the mouth and a colorimetric evaluation performed
3) quality of the prostheses, will be evaluated by an experienced operator with the Sato score
4) functionality of the complete dentures, will be evaluated by an instrument that provides a score of 0-10
and 5) need for maintenance and adjustments and retention of the prostheses
and 6) user preference.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Quality of life and user satisfaction with complete dentures, measured by the OHIP-EDENT questionnaire (Oral Health Impact Profile for edentulous patients), applied to each group after three months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Masticatory performance, measured by chewing test with two-color chewing gum and electronic colorimetric evaluation using the free ViewGum® software;Quality of complete dentures, measured clinically using the Sato Score instrument, based on the following factors: anterior teeth arrangement, interocclusal distance, mandibular prosthesis stability, occlusion, articulation, mandibular prosthesis retention and mandibular prosthesis extension;Functionality of complete dentures, verified using the FAD instrument (functional assessment of dentures), based on the following factors: free functional space, occlusion, articulation, maxillary retention, maxillary stability and mandibular stability;Retention of prostheses, performed manually using a subjective retention scale and digital retention test with a portable digital force measuring instrument;Need for maintenance and adjustments, recorded throughout the study period based on the number of clinical visits required during the three-month follow-up | — |
