Evaluation of masticatory function, satisfaction, and quality of life among users of complete dentures relined with resilient materials - A systematic review

Purpose: To evaluate whether complete dentures (CDs) relined with long-term resilient liners (LTRLs) favor better masticatory function, satisfaction, and quality of life among completely edentulous patients when compared to conventional CDs. Materials and Methods: This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist and was registered in PROSPERO (the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews; CRD42021258700). The population, intervention, comparison, and outcome (PICO) question was: Do complete dentures relined with LTRLs favor better masticatory function, satisfaction, and quality of life among completely edentulous patients when compared to CDs? Searches were performed in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Lilacs, BBO, and OpenGrey databases. Manual searches were also performed to identify additional primary studies. Results: Overall, 3,953 articles were found; after removing duplicates, reading the articles, and applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 15 articles were selected for qualitative
