Freestyle masticatory performance may improve slightly within three months of treatment with an ISFPP and may be similar to that of subjects with complete natural dentition. Patients may obtain a 21%-38% improvement in unilateral mastication on the treated side and a 26%-54% improvement in satisfaction with chewing ability.
