Result: The highest average grade is given for speech with TPD is (3.7), the most of the people liked wearing denture the whole day(59.1)and most of them preferred eating non-vegetarian food (86.4%). The grade given for chewing efficiency of soft food consistency after prosthesis is (4.73) and for hard food after prosthesis is (4.36). Statistically chewing efficiency after prosthesis is highly significant (P= .01). Conclusion: Patients were mostly satisfied with their removable partial dentures, which were evaluated as satisfactory by dentist. Patients chewing efficiency is been improved after prosthesis and food preference has not affected there chewing efficiency.
