PrMA was evaluated in 45 completely edentulous patients (46% males, mean age 50.4 \u00b1\u00a04.7 years). Each patient received a thermoplastic PMMA complete denture (Polyan IC TM Bredent GmbH &amp; Co.KG, Germany). The PrMA was evaluated at one-month and six-month intervals of denture use. An immediate loading single implant was placed into the mid-symphyseal for each patient, and the denture was adjusted. Subsequently, the PrMA was reevaluated after one month and six months. The data were collected and statistically analyzed using the SPSS<jats:sup>@<\/jats:sup>V25 to assess the changes in PrMA.<\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n            <jats:sec>\n               <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n               <jats:p>The PrMA demonstrated improvement after six months of thermoplastic conventional denture use.
