Abstract:	Background/purpose: Conventional complete denture treatment course requires six appointments, but modified protocol only takes four appointments. This study compared the conventional and modified protocol for complete denture fabrication regarding patient satisfaction and clinical outcomes. Materials and methods: A total of 24 patients accepted complete denture treatment. According to complete denture treatment protocol, these patients were divided into the conventional group (group C, n = 12) and the modified group (group M, n = 12). Group C used the conventional protocol and required six appointments. Group M used the one-appointment master impression and jaw relation record technique, and it took four appointments. Data of oral health impact profile-14 (OHIP-14), satisfaction scale and the number of recalls in the first year were collected for the statistical analysis. Results: The mean OHIP-14 scores in group C and group M were 13.79 +/- 3.81 and 15.33 +/- 5.25, respectively. In terms of satisfaction, the mean scores in group C and group M were 8.33 +/- 0.61 points and 8.66 +/- 1.13 points, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between the group C and M in terms of participant ratings for satisfaction and OHIP-14. At the same time, the results indicated that group M significantly reduced the number of postinsertion visits (P < 0.05). Conclusion: In terms of OHIP-14 and patients' satisfaction, the modified treatment protocol is comparable to the conventional protocol. Based on the number of recalls in the first year, the modified treatment protocol has a better clinical outcome. (C) 2020 Association for Dental Sciences of the Republic of China.
