Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation or number of patients. Kennedy classification—Missing tooth classification, which comprises four groups per arch. Eicher classification—Occlusal support classification, which included three groups. RPD—removable partial denture. p-value—Comparison of masticatory satisfaction in each subgroup by the Mann-Whitney U-test or Kruskal-Wallis test.
