Abstract:The biting forces from integrated EMG and the pressure distributions at the denture basemucosal interface in three complete denture wearers were recorded simultaneously under the regular clenching condition.In order to measure the stress of the tissue bearing pressure, duplicated mandibular dentures containing six pressure sensors on basal surface were constructed.Integrated EMG and pressure distributions were measured at the same time and analyzed on time by using digital processing system. The conclusions as to the change of pressure distribution and calculating the biting force by proceeding occlusal adjustment were as follows:1. It was possible that present method of calculating the biting force from integrated EMG and pressure distribution by pressure sensors could be used for complete denture wearers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
