ABSTRACT
Randomized Clinical Trial Was Carried Outto Compare Between Chewing Efficiency Of Mandibular Complete Denture Constructed From Two Different Materials; Metal Reinforced Polyamide And Conventional PMMA. Twenty Four Completely Edentulous Patients. The Patients Were Divided Into Two Equal Groups, Group I Received Conventional Maxillary And Mandibular Heat Cured PPMA And Group II Received Conventional Heat Cured Maxillary Denture And Metal Reinforced Polyamide Mandibular Denture. Patients Of Both Groups Were Evaluated By Chewing Efficiency Measurements At The Time Of Prosthesis Insertion As Well As Three And Five Weeks Later By Sieve Method. The Results; The Results Of This Study Showed That Chewing Efficiency Measurements In Group II Were Greater Than That Of Group I At Time Of Denture Insertion.
