Edentulism has been defined as the loss of all-natural dentition. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), edentulism affects between 7 and 69 % of people worldwide. Due to its negative effects on one's oral and overall health, edentulism reduces one's quality of life. Complete denture treatment is beneficial for many edentulous individuals, and they report that its use provides satisfactory oral and masticatory function. The population's continued expansion clearly predicts that over the coming few decades, edentulism rates will either stay the same or rise. according demographic statistics, the majority of the patients in the existing research were males over 50 years and were illiterate. The majority of the participants exhibited issues with mastication, followed by discomfort, speaking, and retention. But as can be seen from the comments, many were happier with the hygiene and appearance of their dentures. In contrast to mandibular dentures, the majority of the populace reported being extremely delighted with their maxillary dentures. |
