Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation or number of patients. Masticatory satisfaction—The response on a visual analog scale to the question “How do you feel about chewing comfort with your removable dentures?” Functional teeth—Natural teeth and treated teeth that have a crown, as well as bridge pontics and implants. Masticatory performance—The increase in the surface area of the masticated gummy jelly piece (mm2). FAS—Food Acceptance Score; the questionnaire regarding the state of food acceptance. OHIP-14—Oral Health Impact Profile; assessment of oral-health-related quality of life. RPD—Removable partial denture. Kennedy classification—Missing tooth classification, which comprises four groups per arch. Eicher classification—Occlusal support classification, which included three groups.
