SELF-PERCEIVED ESTHETICS, CHEWING FUNCTION AND ORAL HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS TREATED WITH NEW REMOVABLE DENTURES
and difference of periodontal status of remaining teeth in the mandible in the CD-RPD group.
5. Conclusion
All patients with new removable dentures( CD and CD-RPD group) reported improved aesthetics, chewing function and OHRQoL compared to the baseline scores. Gender and age by itself yielded no significant effects. The type of RPD treatment( CD: CD-RPD) yielded statistically significant effect only considering orofacial aesthetics with better aesthetic outcomes in the CD group, which may be attributed to the clasp visibility in the CD-RPD group. Clasps had not significantly improved chewing function in the CD-RPD group compared with the CD group.
