Patient Satisfaction, Retentive Characteristics and Masticatory Efficiency in Maxillary Single Denture Wearers with Different Denture Bases: A Randomized Crossover Clinical Trial

Purpose: To evaluate patient satisfaction, the retentive characteristics, and masticatory efficiency in maxillary single denture wearers with 3 different bases. Material Methods: 40 patients; 10 dentate (control group (GC)) 30 completely edentulous ridges patients (43-56 years) were selected for this study. The divided into groups randomly; each received dentures; Group I (GI) conventional heat cured acrylic resin (AR) followed by thermoplastic (TAR) then nylon (TN) base (GI:AR/TAR/TN), (GII:TAR/TN/AR) (GIII:TN/AR/TAR). Patient characteristics evaluated months after delivery of denture. Results: 27 out had age (mean 50 ± 3.7 accomplished Statistically significant differences observed comfort appearance, p≤ 0.05. No statistically phonetics, pain, or ease cleaning denture, p>0.05. forces between (AR, TAR TN), 0.05 except (TN TAR), (GC, AR, (TAR Conclusions: Maxillary dentures TN bases showed advantage over AR terms appearance. Retention comparable higher than that Type does not influence wearers.
