The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of office (OR) and home (HR) care temporary denture reliners on satisfaction and functional outcomes in maxillary complete denture wearers.
Thirty-four maxillary edentulous patients received application of either OR or HR to their maxillary complete dentures. Patient's ratings on satisfaction and functional aspects were measured on a 100-mm visual analogue scale at 4 days post-application. Associations between baseline ratings and improvement were also assessed.
There were no significant differences between the two groups in satisfaction ratings or in the functional outcomes. The OR group showed a significant improvement in mastication and retention, whereas the HR group exhibited a significant improvement in general satisfaction and mastication. Improvement was negatively associated with baseline ratings of speech, ease of cleaning, stability and retention in the OR groups and across all variables, except ease of cleaning, in the HR group.
When used correctly, home care denture therapy can be as effective as office applied temporary liner in improving satisfaction with problematic maxillary dentures.
本研究旨在评估诊室（OR）和家庭（HR）用临时义齿衬里对上颌全口义齿佩戴者满意度和功能效果的影响。
34 名上颌无牙患者上颌全口义齿应用 OR 或 HR。在应用后 4 天，患者通过 100mm 视觉模拟量表对满意度和功能方面进行评分。同时评估基线评分与改善之间的关系。
两组在满意度评分或功能效果方面均无显著差异。OR 组在咀嚼和固位方面显示出显著改善，而 HR 组在总体满意度和咀嚼方面显示出显著改善。改善与 OR 组的言语、清洁难易度、稳定性和固位的基线评分呈负相关，而与 HR 组除清洁难易度外的所有变量的基线评分呈负相关。
如果使用正确，家庭护理义齿治疗可以与诊室应用的临时衬里一样有效地改善有问题的上颌义齿的满意度。
