Purpose of this study is to compare the masticatory efficiency 'All on four' to 'Complete dentures on a class I ridge' with a color mixing analyzing test. Ten Patients with fixed complete dentures on implants and other ten patients with complete denture on a class I ridge (Atwood) had chewed a bicolor chewing gum (Hubba Bubba ®) for different number of cycles(5-10-15-20). The chewed gum is retrieved scanned and weighted to quantify masticatory efficiency

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| color analysis mixing test | a two color chewing gum is chewed for a specific number of cycles, gum is scanned and color mixing is analysed by a software called View Gum | from 5 up to 20 second |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| weight reduction | gum is weighted before each chewing cycle than dried and weighted after chewing.weight reduction is the secondary outcome for mastication efficiency analyzing | from 5 up to 20 second |
