“…The FIQ employed in this study has been well validated in partially dentate individuals in a previous study 17 . The FIQ score was also shown to be significantly associated with the number of the remaining tooth, denture‐related mucosal pain and oral health–related quality of life in partially dentate individuals 8,23,24 . These findings indicate the usefulness of FIQ in evaluating subjective chewing ability in this population.…”

Recovery of impaired masticatory function due to tooth loss is one of the major objectives of prosthetic treatment. Masticatory function is clinically evaluated objectively using a variety of chewing test items and/or subjectively by assessing patient perception using self-administered questionnaires. 1-3 These objective/subjective evaluations are useful to interpret the effects of prosthetic treatment on masticatory function in clinical practice and research settings. Dental patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) have

“…Denture sores were another major source of maintenance needs in the present investigation. Studies have shown that interim dentures are associated with increased mucosal pain and, accordingly, with reduced chewing ability [18,19]. An effort should therefore be made to achieve secure and pain-free seating of the denture so that good masticatory function will be ensured.…”

Patients undergoing a variety of pre-prosthetic treatment regimens are commonly provided with a removable partial denture (RPD) to preserve or restore function and esthetics during this interim period. The service duration of such an interim RPD is usually limited by its inexpensive fabrication, and prolonged coverage of the abutment teeth by the denture base and clasp structures can give rise to periodontal and carious lesions. We therefore conducted a study to analyze the oral-health implications and maintenance requirements based on clinical documentation available for 575 interim RPDs covering a mean observation period of 31.21±22.02 (3−158) months. The total success rate of these RPDs was 60.7% and signifi cantly higher for the mandibular (65.9%) than the maxillary (56.0%) dentures (p=0.014). They were associated with a signifi cantly increased risk of carious decay (p<0.05) and actual loss (p<0.05) of abutment teeth. In one-quarter of cases (24.9%), they involved increases in tooth mobility. Patient compliance with the prescribed recall schedule yielded a signifi cantly higher success rate than noncompliance (p=0.023). Clasp and resin fractures were frequent causes of repair, and repair needs increased with the duration of intraoral service. Based on our fi ndings, we recommend the use of an interim RPD for 3 to 6 months of intraoral service, which is appropriate for many pretreatment regimens. We do not recommend uses for longer than 9 months, considering that one-third of the RPDs in our study had already been repaired by that time. To minimize periodontal and carious lesions, it is advisable to take advantage of periodic recalls, which should include meeting any relining needs and checking for pressure sores to ensure good seating of the RPD. Whenever a need for repair arises, an appropriate material should be selected to avoid the development of denture stomatitis.

“…activation, and proper response of muscle and other connective tissue structures [14][15][16][17][18]. Rehabilitation of masticatory function is one of the main goals of dental treatment, and several previous works have attempted to reveal not only the associated local factors such as tooth loss, periodontitis, decreased masticatory force, temporomandibular disorders, dry mouth, and abnormal occlusal relationships but also related systemic factors including sarcopenia and osteoporosis [9,19].…”

Background Masticatory ability is an essential factor for sustaining quality of life and social and systemic well-being, particularly in elderly. This study aimed to reveal the association between subjective masticatory difficulty and skeletal bone mineral density (BMD). Methods Data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which was conducted from 2008 to 2011 were analyzed. This study included 13,092 Koreans (5656 males, 7436 females) over 50 years of age. Masticatory difficulty was evaluated based on a self-reported questionnaire. Areal BMD of the total hip, femoral neck, and lumbar spine as well as lean body mass were determined using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Data about the sociodemographic characteristics, physical activity, number of teeth present, sum of decayed, missing, and filled permanent teeth (DMFT) index and Community Periodontal Index (CPI) were collected. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze associations between subjective masticatory difficulty and BMD, adjusting for the confounding covariates. Results Significant differences were observed in the areal BMD of the total hip, femoral neck, and lumbar spine as well as lean body mass accordance with the presence of subjective masticatory difficulty in both males and females. The number of teeth, DMFT, and CPI score did not show significant differences based on the presence of self-reported satisfaction of chewing performance in both males and females. Results from multivariate logistic regression demonstrated that the subjective masticatory difficulty showed significant interactions with skeletal BMD and the associations between masticatory satisfaction and BMD of the total hip and femoral neck were more prominent in females compared to those in males. Conclusions The skeletal BMD, particularly areal BMD of the femoral neck was significantly associated with subjective masticatory difficulty in elderly, especially in elder females.
