Clinical procedures:

Complete dentures, both conventional and BPS, for the patients in test and control groups will be done by a single operator. The operator will be postgraduate student and will be supervised by an experienced clinical instructor. Dentures in control group will be fabricated using conventional clinical procedures and those in the test group will be fabricated using the BPS protocol. Both the dentures will use the same teeth set (Ivoclair). Both the dentures will be processed using the same resin (Ivoclair) by injection moulding technique. No logo will be used on dentures fabricated using BPS protocol.

Data collection and analysis:

All patients will be evaluated by a single evaluator, who will send the data to the data collector/analyser. The data collector/analyser will be involved in grouping the data and statistical evaluation.

Outcomes and outcome assessment:           

            The primary outcomes will be patient satisfaction and masticatory efficiency. These data will be collected 6 weeks after the denture insertion appointment. Patient satisfaction will be evaluated by using  Oral Health‑Related Quality of Life questionnaire, specifically designed for edentulous patients (Oral Health Impact Profile for edentulous subjects) [OHIP‑EDENT]. Masticatory efficiency will be evaluated using wet sieve method of analysis. Secondary outcome will be frequency of denture adjustments required after denture insertion appointment and denture repair. Each patient will be followed up for a period of 6 months.

Evaluation of primary outcome which is patient satisfaction and masticatory efficiency is to be done at the time of 6 weeks post insertion because the previous studies suggest it to be optimal for review.
