Materials & methods: 20 subjects with presence complete edentulous arch and who had history of complete denture usage for atleast five years were enrolled. Spirometric testing was carried out at following steps: Phase 1: Testing in absence of denture, Phase 2: Testing in presence of both dentures, Phase 3: Testing in presence of maxillary denture only; and Phase 4: Testing in presence of mandibular dentures only. FVC value, PEF value, FEV1 value and FEF25–75 value was recorded with the spirometric test. Analysis of all the results was done by SPSS software, followed by assessment of level of significant with chi-square test and student test. Results: While analysing statistically, it was seen that there was significant decrease in value of Spirometric variables in the presence of dentures. Conclusion: Denture wearer edentulous patients are subjected to risk of development of Spirometric alterations. Hence; these patients should be given timely instructions about various respiratory exercise protocols.
