Treatment Outcomes After Receiving Conventional Clasp or Precision Attachment Removable Partial Dentures.

Treatment Outcomes Based on Patient's Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) After Receiving Conventional Clasp or Precision Attachment Removable Partial Dentures in Distal Extension Cases: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

PICOTS:

P: Kennedy class І patients

I : Mandibular removable partial denture with OT Cap attachment

C: Mandibular removable partial denture with gingival approaching clasp assembly

O: 1ry outcome: Oral Health Related Quality of Life

2ry outcome: Biting force

T: 1 Year

S : Randomized control trial

Research question:

In Kennedy class І patients will the removable partial denture with OT Cap attachment compared to conventional removable partial denture with clasp assembly results in difference in Oral Health Related Quality of Life of Patients?

In bilateral edentulous mandible with missing molars, the clasp retained partial denture will be compared with precision attachment partial denture for better quality of life for patients.
