Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the patient overall experience and problems encounter in use of conventional and FD base material. Materials and Method: The study comprises of randomly selected 54 partially edentulous patients (male or female) reported to the Department of Prosthodontic. The nature of the study was explained and informs consent was taken. The conventional denture is made of polymethyl-methacrylate, Valplast and Flexite were two nylon denture base materials utilized in complete 54 cases were given the imperative prostheses. Results: There were total no of 54 cases were taken. All off the cases were evaluated on basis of halitosis, mucosal irritation, ease of insertion and removal, functional comfort and fracture/crack frequency. As per the questioner, the result was compiled and data were analysed by, Wilcoxon signed ranks test to study the change in various indices of functional observations and to draw the conclusion. Out of 54 cases only 6 cases were reported with halitosis, 0 cases reported with the difficulty in removing and insertion of denture, 3 cases reported with mucosal irritation and 12 cases reported with Debonding of teeth after 8 to 9 months, respectively.
