Abstract

Extensive tooth loss significantly compromises oral function, facial aesthetics, speech, and psychosocial well-being. Removable dental prostheses remain a widely used rehabilitative option due to their affordability, adaptability, and suitability for patients with advanced edentulism or systemic limitations. This thesis evaluates the functional efficiency and aesthetic outcomes of removable prosthetic treatment in patients with extensive tooth loss, focusing on mastication, speech, comfort, facial harmony, and patient satisfaction. Clinical findings indicate that appropriately designed removable prostheses can restore essential oral functions and improve facial appearance when supported by accurate diagnosis, individualized planning, and proper patient education. The results underscore the importance of prosthetic design, occlusal balance, and adaptation in achieving stable, functional, and aesthetically acceptable outcomes.
