Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Brain activity measurement in controlled type 2 diabetic patients wearing RPD.

RPDs were fabricated for each participant using thermoplastic resin. The brain activity was assessed using EEG by measuring the alpha waves (Dα/Hz) in controlled type 2 diabetic patients wearing RPDs. EEG records were obtained before denture delivery and one month after denture wear.

Time frame: For each participant the RPD should be worn for one month.

Cognitive function assessment in controlled type 2 diabetic patients wearing RPD.

For the same participates the cognitive function was assessed via MMSE questionnaire. MMSE consists of 12 questions with maximum scoring of 30. The measurements were obtained before denture delivery and one month after denture wear.

Time frame: For each participant the RPD should be worn for one month.
