Project overview
This clinical study evaluated the performance of three artificial teeth materials—acrylic resin, modified composite resin, and porcelain—in 60 edentulous patients over six months. Patients were randomly assigned into three equal groups and received standardized complete dentures. Follow-up assessments at 1, 3, and 6 months examined occlusal wear, retention, and patient satisfaction. Results showed acrylic resin teeth had the highest wear but were rated best for comfort and phonetics. Porcelain teeth exhibited the least wear and highest esthetic scores but required more occlusal adjustments due to brittleness. Modified composite resin teeth performed intermediately in wear resistance and offered balanced comfort and esthetics. While all materials were clinically acceptable, statistically significant differences (p<0.05) were observed in wear rates and select satisfaction parameters. The study concludes that material selection should be personalized, balancing functional durability, esthetics, and patient preference to optimize denture outcomes.
