“…A second pair of complete dentures was made with Premium (PT) (Heraeus Kulzer GmbH/Hanau, Germany) artificial teeth, which have posterior teeth with higher cusps (2.39 mm) than BT (1.67 mm), resembling more natural teeth cusps (Figures 2 and 3 ) [ 4 ]. Different from the BT teeth trial, in the PT trial, the patient did not perform protrusion movements.…”

“…Since complete dentures are mucosa-supported, they require stability on the support area to function properly. Therefore, occlusion is a key component for denture stability [ 4 ]. Although complete dentures have been used in prosthodontics for over a hundred years, there is no consensus on which tooth arrangement is ideal for achieving success in complete dentures [ 5 , 6 ].…”

“…In theory, teeth with higher cusps should allow better comminution of food, since their smaller area of contact with the food promotes greater penetrating power into the food bolus; however, it has not yet been proven [ 4 ].…”

Different types of artificial teeth and occlusal designs can be used in complete dentures. Bilateral balanced occlusion, lingualized occlusion, canine guidance, and monoplane are the main occlusal designs; however there is no agreement on which tooth arrangement is ideal for achieving success in complete dentures. This report presents an alternative for persistent involuntary protruding complete denture wearers through the use of artificial teeth with higher cusps. Due to an old and worn pair of complete dentures, the patient had the habit of protruding. New dentures were made with Biotone artificial teeth and in the trial session, the patient would still protrude. A new set was made with Premium artificial teeth, which present higher cusps. With these dentures, the involuntary protrusion did not occur. From the delivery to the follow-up sessions, the patient stopped protruding.

“…Color-changeable chewing gum can be used as a stand-alone instrument for perceived chewing ability evaluation because it is a valid and reliable method for the evaluation of masticatory function (6,13) . These tests have proven more accurate than subjective questionnaire-based methods that collect information on the opinions reported by both patient and professional (15) .…”

Masticatory Efficiency Evaluation in Implant Retained Complete Overdenture With Different Occlusal Schemes

et al. 2016

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the masticatory efficiency in immediately loaded implant retained mandibular complete over denture with two different occlusal schemes namely opposing conventional maxillary complete denture. Patients and Methods: Fourteen completely edentulous patients with age ranged from 51-61 years were selected from outpatient clinic of Removable Prosthodontics, Faculty of Dental Medicine, Al-Azhar University. One stage octa titanium implants with 3.75mm diameter and 14mm length were used. All Patients sharing in this study receive immediately loaded implant reteined mandibular overdenture. They were randomly divided into two equal groups (7 patients in each), the first group had the artificial teeth arranged in a median lingualized occlusio, while the second group had the artificial teeth arranged in a bilateral balanced occlusion. Masticatory efficiency measurements were taken at the first time of overdenture placement and after six months of over denture use. Paired t-test was used to evaluate the masticatory efficiency before and after adaptation period for each group. Independent t-test was used to compare the masticatory efficiency measurements between both groups. Results: At the time of denture placement, there was no significance difference in masticatory efficiency measurements between both groups. Masticatory efficiency was increased considerably after six months of denture use, and it was significantly higher than masticatory efficiency recorded at the time of new prosthesis placement in the same group. After six months of denture use, there was a significance difference in masticatory efficiency measurements between both groups. Conclusions: It was concluded that using lingualized occlusion concepts was resulted in increased masticatory efficiency more than bilateral balanced occlusion after six months of denture use in patients received immediately loaded implant retained mandibular overdenture with ball and socket attachment.

This longitudinal clinical study investigated the differences in the masticatory function (MF), satisfaction and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) between atrophic patients (AP) and non-atrophic patients (NAP) before and after rehabilitation with mandibular overdenture (MO). Twenty-six complete denture (CD) wearers were categorised into two groups, according to the mandibular bone atrophy (MBA) degree. MF was evaluated before and after 1, 3, 6 and 12 months of the MO loading via 2 standardised tests: (i) MP, masticatory performance (MP_X50, MPB, ME 5·6, ME 2·8) and (ii) ST, swallowing threshold (time, number of cycles, ST_X50, STB, ME 5·6, ME 2·8). The dental impact on daily living (DIDL) questionnaire measured changes in the satisfaction level and OHRQoL. MP comparisons showed significant difference only for ME 5·6 12 months after MO loading (AP=33·79 ± 23·6; NAP=17·58 ± 20·1). ST presented significant differences before MO loading for: ST_X50 (AP=5·48 ± 0·83; NAP=4·31 ± 1·44), ME 5·6 (AP=53·17 ± 24·71; NAP=29·83 ± 31·45) and ME 2·8 (AP=8·76 ± 6·91; NAP=18·61 ± 10·71). One month after MO loading, NAP performed the ST test 21% faster than AP. After 3 months, significant improvements in STB (AP=4·93 ± 4·82; NAP=2·73 ± 1·27) and ME 2·8 (AP=17·15 ± 10·00; NAP=24·69 ± 7·82) also were observed. DIDL evaluation showed significant differences in the oral comfort domain after 3 months (AP=0·66 ± 0·29; NAP=0·87 ± 0·16) and after 6 months (AP=0·79 ± 0·22; NAP=0·98 ± 0·08), with lower satisfaction levels in the AP. MBA negatively affects the MF mainly the ST. After 6 months, differences between AP and NAP disappeared and ST results were equalised. AP initially has lower satisfaction levels reaching similar levels of satisfaction as NAP after 1 year.
