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.
