“…These results contradict some authors 26 who claim that, although patients may need to have their dentures replaced after a wear and tear period, this does not necessarily have a significant impact on their quality of life. But they are consistent with others 24,29,36 , who claim that most patients with complete ill-fitting dentures find moderate or full satisfaction and an improvement in chewing and confidence after the dentures are adjusted or after rehabilitation with new dentures. The difference between the mean QL scores between the pretreatment and immediate follow-up measurements was higher for women (7.16 points) than for men (4.51 points).…”

“…On the one hand, there are those who report that it improves function and psychological comfort 24,25 , but others did not notice significant improvement 26,27 . A moderate positive correlation between the satisfaction of patients and the quality of the dentures used has also been found, as improvements in chewing, speaking and confidence when the qualities of dentures were improved 28,29 .…”

This work was done under the current appreciation that both medicine and dentistry currently have of improving the quality of life (QL) of patients with finished treatments.The aim of this study was to research whether there was an improvement in the Oral Health-related Quality of Life (OHRQL) on bimaxillary toothless adult patients rehabilitated with new complete dentures in a Clinic of Removable Prosthodontics in the School of Dentistry, Universidad de la República, Uruguay. One hundred bimaxillary edentulous adult patients were included. They did not have an intellectual disability nor a systemic disease affecting their oral functions. To measure the OHRQL, the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) was used. The scores studied were: before the rehabilitation (pretreatment) 9.42 ± 7.79, at the moment of the patient's discharge (immediate follow-up) 3.13 ± 4.49 and three months after the discharge (intermediate follow-up) 2.13 ± 3.32. We observed a reduction between the first and the second measurements (p<0.001), which was greater when comparing the first with the third measurement (p<0.001).The results obtained indicate that there was a significant statistical improvement of the OHRQL as perceived by the surveyed patients.

“…Since prosthodontic as well as surgical treatment can be performed to improve patient satisfaction, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) must be influenced by the quality of the prosthetic treatment (23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29). In a previous study conducted in the United States that assessed the quality of 1306 removable partial dentures (RPDs), 65% of the RPDs were found to have various types of defects (30), indicating poor quality.…”

Evaluation of satisfaction and complications in patients with existing complete dentures

et al. 2013

The aim of this clinical trial was to assess satisfaction, as well as the frequency and type of prosthetic complications in terms of several variables, in patients with complete dentures that had been supplied at private clinics. The study subjects were 64 patients with a mean age of 63.48 years wearing complete dentures provided at private clinics, and requesting new ones. The degree of patient satisfaction with their dentures was assessed, as well as complications and parameters related to the dentures such as the accuracy of vertical dimensions and centric relation, arrangement and possible malposition of the artificial teeth, and the border length of the denture bases. The most common complication was loss of retention (85.9%), followed by ulceration (44.2%). Mandibular dentures with long vestibular borders showed a significantly higher incidence of epulis fissuratum (P = 0.017), and denture-related sore spots influenced patients' speech ability (P = 0.023). Routine recalls seem to be important for wearers of complete dentures, as several insidious complications may develop and cause damage to the dentures as well as the patients' oral tissues.

“…This statement would be supported by studies reporting at least a 30-day adaptation period for patients with new RPD. 12,16 In spite of the above observations, it is necessary to mention that the adaptation of the prosthetic appliance is a purely personal and subjective matter.…”

Abstract:Objective: To compare the masticatory performance (MP) of patients with old removable partial denture (RPD), recently inserted RPD and already adapted RPD by means of the simple sieve test. Material and Methods: Twenty-nine adult (>18 years old) volunteer patients were recruited, with lower and upper RPD, excluding total edentulous subjects in the upper and lower jaw, with temporomandibular disorders, severe periodontal disease, mental disability or systemic disease compromising the masticatory or nervous system. Dentures were designed and fabricated by an expert operator. MP was evaluated in old RPD (MP1), recently inserted RPD (MP2) and adapted RPD (MP3). The simple sieve test used was Edlund-Lamm in percentage of MP, using Optosil® Comfort condensation silicone tablets, with standard sizes (5.0x20mm). In each phase, the patient chewed the tablet with 20 masticatory strokes. The crushed fragments were dried at 80°C for 60 minutes and weighed on an analytical scale. A multiple vibration sieve analysis was performed, using sieves with opening sizes of 2.8mm and 1.4mm. Shapiro-Wilk test and Anova test with Bonferroni correction were performed. Results: It was observed that MP1 presented a mean of 8.40% (SD±5.59), MP2 a mean of 8.56% (SD±5.56), and MP3 a mean of 18.26% (SD±8.12). There was a significant difference (p<0.05) between the MP1-MP3 groups, as well as between the MP2-MP3 (p<0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant increase in MP thirty days after the insertion of RPD, checkups, and adjustments performed by the dentist.
