Masticatory ability—cineradiographic observations

Chewing and swallowing activity of masticatory muscles in patients with a complete upper and a partial lower denture

“…This finding is in accordance with cinefluorographic observations by Hedegard, Lundberg & Wictorin (1967), Watson (1972) and Karlsson (1979), that restoration of the posterior occlusion with dentures will change the bolus position in mastication mainly to the posterior region of the dental arches. Moreover, a kinesiographic study of the present sample ( showed improved mandibular chewing patterns at the 6-month stage of denture wear.…”

Chewing ability of subjects with shortened dental arches

“…The effects are perhaps more severe in developing countries where alternative foods are limited . It has also been suggested that when dental arches are extremely reduced, the ability of oral musculature to maintain control over the food bolus is impaired, thus augmenting the chewing problem (23).…”

The relationship between satisfaction with mouth and number and position of teeth

“…The position of the missing teeth is important in a person’s subjective need for replacing them ( Watson 1973;Bjorn & Owall 1979;Osterberg, Hedegard & Sater 1983;Tervonen 1988;Spratley 1988;Owall & Taylor 1989;Schuurs et al . 1990 ;Razack et al .…”
