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 .
