Electrognathographic evaluations of rehabilitated edentulous patients

Abstract: This study investigated, through computerized electrognathographic evaluations (K6-I Diagnostic System, Myotronics-Noromed Inc., Tukwila, USA), the mandibular movement pattern of 16 patients rehabilitated with complete dentures presenting no symptoms of stomatognathic functional alterations. The patients were instructed to wear an intra-oral appliance for occlusal plane coverage over their usual superior denture and were then rehabilitated with new dentures preserving a free-way space of 3 mm. After sixty days… Show more

“…When teeth are lost, a change occurs in the mandibular posture, the speech pattern, esthetics, and deglutition as well as in the individual's social, emotional and psychological behavior. Along with this, some age related changes, such as deterioration in the fast and slow-twitch fibers of the striated muscles, results in impaired muscle force [5]. Age and muscular fatigue affect the function of 2678 the masticatory system and this is frequently accompanied by tooth loss, prosthetic rehabilitation, and, also by the development of local and systemic circumstances that may greatly influence this physiological process and reduce the masticatory ability of elderly individuals.…”

“…Casselli et al 1 assessed the freeway space (FS) in edentulous patients after the placement of bimaxillary complete dentures and found that after 60 days, the FS had increased by 1.18 mm. The authors suggested that this occurred because of the adaptive ability of the muscles: as their volume and length changes in response to stimulation, their density also changes, associated with a self-protective mechanism of the masseter muscle 23 .…”
