Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of partially edentulous ()PED condition on lung function through spirometry tests and comparison of airflow rates between dentulous and PED subjects.
Settings And Design: The study design was a cross-sectional study conducted in the department of prosthodontics.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-eight dentulous and 28 PED patients with an age range of 25-50 years were included in the study.

Background & objectives Spirometric glycopyrronium responsiveness, a new advent, needs to be examined at in terms of degree and frequency in different obstructive-airway diseases diagnosed in real world practise. Methods Serial and willing symptomatic affected individuals of suspected airway disease underwent a pragmatic post-consultation spirometry-protocol on the same day with salbutamol followed by glycopyrronium bromide. The diagnosis of asthma (FEV1-reversibility ≥ 200 ml + 12%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (FEV1/FVC<0.
