Denture upgrade: adding ridges may boost satisfaction
NCT ID NCT07034079
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding small ridges (like natural ones) to the roof of dentures helps people with no teeth feel more satisfied and improves their quality of life. Sixty adults aged 45 to 80 who need new dentures will try both a standard denture and one with ridges, then compare which they prefer. The goal is to see if these ridges make eating, speaking, and cleaning easier.
