Outline of Final Research Achievements

Most home care patients and dentists desire of a simple technique for compete denture construction that may reduce the number of home-visit. However, its efficiency has not been established.
Biofunctional prosthetic system (BPS) fundamentally requires a four-appointment procedures in order to provide high quality dentures for patients. We have modified the system to accommodate the delivery for home care patients and run a pilot test through our Dental hospital outpatient department. Result show that there was no significant difference between masticatory efficiency of patients who received treatment through the conventional and modified technique. This may suggest that the modified technique may be comparable with the conventional procedure with regards to the patient’s functional recovery.
