Assessment of long-term patient satisfaction of complete dentures fabricated using simplified and conventional complete dentures on oral health impact profile for edentulous patients (OHIP-EDENT): A randomized double-blinded crossover clinical trial

This randomized, double-blinded, two-period crossover clinical trial aims to compare patient satisfaction and oral health–related quality of life in completely edentulous patients rehabilitated with simplified and conventional complete dentures. The simplified technique uses a chairside visible light-cured resin protocol to fabricate a custom tray and occlusal rims in fewer clinical visits, while the conventional technique follows the traditional multi-visit denture fabrication protocol.

Participants are randomly allocated to one of two treatment sequences and receive both types of complete dentures during two study periods. Outcome assessments are performed only after 3 months (end of Period 1) and 6 months (end of Period 2) following denture insertion. Patient-reported outcomes are evaluated using the Oral Health Impact Profile for Edentulous Patients (OHIP-EDENT) and a 100-mm Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The study aims to determine whether simplified complete dentures provide comparable patient satisfaction and oral health–related quality of life when compared with conventional dentures
