ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to understand how the angle at which dentures are made affects patient satisfaction and how well the dentures fit and stay in place. Researchers will compare dentures made at a 0-degree angle to those made at a 45-degree angle to see if there are any noticeable differences. This study is for adults over 40 years old who either have full natural teeth in the opposing jaw or have had dental work done, like bridges or implants.

To participate, you must be healthy and willing to attend follow-up appointments. However, if you have certain conditions like jaw joint issues, certain types of gum problems, or allergies to denture materials, you won't be eligible. If you join the study, you can expect to have your new dentures fitted and then provide feedback about how they feel and function. This research could help improve the design and comfort of dentures for many people in the future.
