Summary

The palatal rugae, refer to asymmetrical and irregular elevations of the mucosa located in the anterior third of the palate, on each side of the median palatal raphe and behind the incisive papilla. The lack of the rugae area on the polished areas of the dentures has been suggested to impact phonetics in denture patients due to lack of tactile feedback. Therefore, the aim of this randomized crossover clinical trial was to compare patients' reported satisfaction with their complete dentures and oral health related quality of life, when provided with a denture with a rough palatal surface in the rugae area compared with a polished palatal surface or an open palatal surface.
