Objectives: To compare the effect of conventional complete dentures fabricated using two different impression methods on masticatory performance and factors relating to masticatory performance in a randomized controlled trial.
Methods: A crossover randomized controlled trial was performed with edentulous patients requiring maxillomandibular complete dentures. Mandibular complete dentures were fabricated using two different methods.
Objectives: To compare the cost and to evaluate cost-effectiveness of fabricating mandibular complete dentures (CDs) using two different impression methods.
Methods: A crossover randomized controlled trial including 27 edentulous participants was performed. Mandibular CDs were fabricated using two different impression methods, as follows: (i) conventional method using a custom tray border moulded with impression compound and silicone and (ii) simplified method using a stock tray and alginate.
Background & Aim: Combination of new complete denture fabrication and tailored dietary counseling is necessary to improve nutrient intake of the edentulous elderly. However, there is no evidence on the effect of simple dietary advice combined with new complete denture fabrication on the nutrient intake of the edentulous elderly. The aim of this study was to clarify the combined effect of new complete denture fabrication and simple dietary advice, using a uniform pamphlet, on the nutrient intake and masticatory function of edentulous elderly.

Methods: A randomized controlled trial was performed with edentulous patients who required new complete dentures. All participants received complete denture treatment.
Background: Individuals who are edentulous have a lower intake of fruit, vegetables, fiber, and protein compared with their dentate counterparts because tooth loss is accompanied by a decrease in ability to chew. Whether or not a combination of prosthetic rehabilitation and simple dietary advice produces improvement in dietary intake among edentulous persons is unclear. We aim to investigate the effect of a simultaneous combination of simple dietary advice delivered by dentists and provision of new complete dentures on dietary intake in edentulous individuals who request new dentures.
