Effects of Salivary Oxidative Markers on Edentulous Patients’ Satisfaction with Prosthetic Denture Treatments: A Pilot Study

Abstract: ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to assess relationships among periodontal conditions, salivary antioxidant levels, and patients’ satisfaction with their prostheses.MethodsThis study was conducted at the Division of Prosthodontics, Department of Dentistry, Taipei Medical University Hospital. The periodontal condition of patients was based on an assessment of the plaque index (PI) and gingival index (GI). The pH value, flow rate, and buffer capacity of the saliva were estimated. The salivary total antiox… Show more

“…In this study, the mean pH was similar to a study carried out in Mexico, where the elderly, fully edentulous and with dentures had an average pH of 7.7 (37). Similar values were also reported in China, where the mean pH of patients with prosthesis was 7.2 (38). The mean buffer capacity of this study was considered regular, but higher than the average buffer capacity reported by Islas-Granillo et al of 4.2.…”

“…Previous studies showed that the gingival index was significantly associated with salivary SOD, and salivary SOD also significantly decreased in patients after periodontal disease treatment [26]. Our previous study also showed that SOD significantly increased with an increment in the BOP [38]. Endogenous antioxidants are associated with periodontitis as shown in this study.…”

“…Denture treatment is not only effective for aesthetic and functional recovery, such as mastication, but also affects the patient’s general condition as the use of dentures improves the nutritional intake efficiency and thereby the patient’s nutritional status [ 15 ]. Patients’ satisfaction with prosthetic denture treatment are reportedly related to antioxidants and oxidizing enzymes in saliva [ 16 ]. However, ill-fitting dentures not only result in mucosal lesions in the oral cavity, they also lead to oral discomfort symptoms, nutritional intake, and social communication problems [ 17 ].…”
