NCT ID NCT07579377

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether adding texture (like bumps) to the roof of dentures helps people who have no teeth feel more comfortable and eat better. 90 adults aged 40-80 will get one of three denture designs: smooth, roughened, or a special plastic sheet. They will rate their satisfaction and quality of life after 3 months.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to more comfortable and functional dentures for people who have lost all their teeth.
