Plain English Summary
Background and study aims
Dentures are removable false teeth that fit snugly over the gums to replace missing teeth. This study aimed to assess the effect of temperature and three denture base materials on the dimensions of complete dentures (a full set which replace all your upper or lower teeth).
Who can participate?
Men aged 60 or above
What does the study involve?
Participants are randomly divided into three groups to receive complete dentures made of three different base materials. The dimensional changes are measured at 4, 8, and 12 months at normal patient mouth temperature, after drinking hot tea and after drinking a cold drink.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Participants benefit from the provision of dentures and follow up for one year. Participants are not exposed to any hazards during the study.
Where is the study run from?
Faculty of Dentistry of Al-Azhar University (Egypt)
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
December 2014 to November 2015
Who is funding the study?
Albaha University (Saudi Arabia)

Intervention
The three groups received complete dentures fabricated by one of the following base materials (heat cure acrylic resin, soft cure acrylic resin, cobalt chrome metallic).
The first group received complete denture fabricated by heat cure acrylic resin (Meliodent-Bayer dental, Germany batch no 54105L-2) curing cycles in acrylic furnace, at 165°F for 9 (acrylic furnace Bego sommer, Germany batch 226-433). The second group received complete denture fabricated by soft cure acrylic resin (vertex thermo sense rigid batch noxu373802 USA). The third group received complete denture fabricated by cobalt chrome metallic denture base (Bego metal denture base Germany batch 233-42), using the burnout furnace controlled electronically at (950-1200)c fasting furnace (bego Germany batch 239270).
For all the patients, the primary impression was taken by alginate then taking the second impression by rubber base (coltene swiss quality for dentistry batch 4160). In the third visit the jaw relationship was taken, in the fourth visit a try in the waxed denture (Cavex, Holland batch Z.A 990.01) was done, followed by fabrication of the denture in the dental lab. During the denture fabrication two different points were prepared in the fitting surface of the waxed denture (first point in the incisive papilla, second point in mid line of the post dam). After the procedures were finished the point shack in the fitting surface measurement by dial caliper step measurement.

Primary outcome measures
Demographic data and denture dimensions. All groups with complete dentures were evaluated after 4 months, 8 months and lastly after 12 months, and evaluated at normal patient mouth temperature, after drinking hot tea at 45c, and after drinking a cold drink at 5c.
Secondary outcome measures
The accuracy of denture dimensions measurement. All groups with complete dentures were evaluated after 4 months, 8 months and lastly after 12 months, and evaluated at normal patient mouth temperature, after drinking hot tea at 45c, and after drinking a cold drink at 5c.
