“…Although the proportion of edentulous patients is decreasing, a significant number still require a complete denture for their oral rehabilitation . Specifically, dental loss is a determinant factor in public health; it is related to socioeconomic, physiological and psychological factors and directly affects quality of life .…”

No consensus has been reached regarding the best occlusal scheme for making complete dentures. Thus, the purpose of this systematic review was to compare bilateral balanced occlusion (BBO) with other occlusal schemes (canine guidance, lingualised occlusion and zero degree) in complete dentures. The schemes were compared in terms of quality of life/satisfaction and masticatory performance. Two independent reviewers performed a comprehensive search of studies published in or before October 2017 using the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus and Cochrane Library databases. The search was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. The focused question was: "In conventional complete denture, is BBO better than lingualised occlusion, canine guidance and zero degree in terms of quality of life, patient satisfaction and masticatory performance/muscle activity?" Seventeen studies were selected for analysis. In total, there were 492 patients with a mean age of 64.78 years and a mean follow-up duration of 2.96 months (range: 1-6 months). All studies compared BBO with the other occlusal schemes. Eleven studies evaluated the influence of the occlusal scheme designs on quality of life and satisfaction, and 8 studies evaluated masticatory performance and muscle activity between BBO and the other occlusion schemes. The present systematic review indicated that BBO does not confer better quality of life/satisfaction or masticatory performance and muscle activity. Thus, lingualised occlusion can be considered a predictable occlusal scheme for complete dentures in terms of quality of life/satisfaction and masticatory performance, while canine guidance can be used to reduce muscular activity.

“…The rate of edentulism among the elderly is, however, continually decreasing and it is anticipated that in 2010 75-year-old patients will still likely to have more than 16 residual teeth on average. 1 Apart from implant treatment or even leaving the partially dentate status, a conventional removable partial denture (RPD) is a viable treatment option in these cases. Functional denture stability, good retention, oral comfort and satisfactory aesthetics are important factors for a successful treatment with RPDs.…”

“…In a previous study conducted in the United States that assessed the quality of 1306 removable partial dentures (RPDs), 65% of the RPDs were found to have various types of defects (30), indicating poor quality. Although a very recent study has reported that the quality of removable dentures had a minimal effect on OHRQoL (31), another study pointed out that improving RPD quality could have a substantial effect on the oral health of the population, assuming a causal association between denture quality and OHRQoL (32).…”

Evaluation of satisfaction and complications in patients with existing complete dentures

et al. 2013

The aim of this clinical trial was to assess satisfaction, as well as the frequency and type of prosthetic complications in terms of several variables, in patients with complete dentures that had been supplied at private clinics. The study subjects were 64 patients with a mean age of 63.48 years wearing complete dentures provided at private clinics, and requesting new ones. The degree of patient satisfaction with their dentures was assessed, as well as complications and parameters related to the dentures such as the accuracy of vertical dimensions and centric relation, arrangement and possible malposition of the artificial teeth, and the border length of the denture bases. The most common complication was loss of retention (85.9%), followed by ulceration (44.2%). Mandibular dentures with long vestibular borders showed a significantly higher incidence of epulis fissuratum (P = 0.017), and denture-related sore spots influenced patients' speech ability (P = 0.023). Routine recalls seem to be important for wearers of complete dentures, as several insidious complications may develop and cause damage to the dentures as well as the patients' oral tissues.
