Denture design and satisfaction in older adults
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a specific denture design feature (palatal rugae patterns) affects how satisfied patients are with their new complete dentures and their quality of life. Complete dentures replace all missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw.

This study tests adding small ridges (called palatal rugae) to a complete upper denture to see if it makes patients more satisfied and improves their quality of life related to oral health. It may help dentures feel more natural and stable.
This study compares how well digitally designed denture teeth hold up over time compared to traditional methods. If you need new dentures, you may be able to participate and help researchers understand which approach works best.
This study compares 3D-printed denture teeth to traditional ones, looking at how well they wear down and how efficiently you can chew. If you have full dentures and are generally healthy, this trial could help determine which option works better for you.
This trial compares two methods of making complete dentures: a traditional technique and a newer digital workflow. It aims to see if the digital approach is more comfortable or efficient for patients who have already worn dentures.
This study looks at whether a special nutritional plan (like a healthy eating program) can help older adults who wear dentures eat better and stay healthy. If you wear full dentures and are between 60 and 80, you may be able to join.
This study compares two different techniques for making complete dentures (artificial teeth that replace all your natural teeth on both the upper and lower jaw). By participating, you'll receive a new set of dentures and help doctors learn which method works best.
