“…Other studies found that dissatisfied patients may possess particular personality traits that influence their satisfaction with dentures. Although in these studies the personality trait of neuroticism was not measured, the findings are still in line with our results [4, 11]. …”

“…Several questionnaires have been used to assess patients' personality, for example, the shortened version of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) [9], the Cornell Medical Index (CMI) [10], Cattell's 16PFQ form C questionnaire [11], the Revised Personality Inventory (NEO PI-R) [5], the Eysenck Short Scale Personality Questionnaire (EPQ-R) [12–15], and the Eysenck Personality Inventory (EPI) [16]. It has been noted that some personality traits like neuroticism influence patient satisfaction with a removable denture [5, 10–12, 16, 17].…”

Complete denture wearers often find it difficult to accept a new denture. Personality traits are among the factors that possibly affect patient satisfaction with a complete denture. Our aim was to investigate the influence of patients' personality on satisfaction with their present denture and after an increase in the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD). Sixty edentulous patients with complete dentures (22 men and 38 women, mean age 66 years, and range 50–75 years) participated in the study. The age of their complete dentures ranged from 5 to 16 years. Patients' personalities were evaluated using the Arabic version of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. Their satisfaction with their dentures before and after restoration of the OVD and relining of the mandibular denture was evaluated using two questionnaires (I and II), Patients with a high score of neuroticism were less satisfied with their original dentures and after relining and an increase of OVD compared with patients with an average score in that trait. The personality trait of psychoticism was significant to patients' acceptance of an increase in OVD; that is, patients with a high score were less satisfied with their dentures after increase of OVD than patients with an average score. It is concluded that personality traits affect patients' acceptance of their complete dentures.

“…Recent studies have reported that masticatory and ingestion-related functions influence the physical and cognitive functions of a person4,5,6 ) , although most of those studies involved athletes. Previous studies, mostly questionnaire surveys, involving the elderly, such as research conducted by Strauss et al7 ) , have suggested that a decrease in the occlusal force reduces the pleasure of having meals8,9,10,11,12 ) . It is not unusual for the elderly to have difficulty eating something that they used to be able to ingest without difficulty because of a loss of teeth, the rotating movement of the tongue, and a decrease in salivary secretion as they become older.…”

“…The present study comprehensively assessed the physical functions of elderly females living independently in the community with the ability to ingest normal meals. We made measurements of the strength of the arm and leg muscles, walking ability, standing balance, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score (a test designed to evaluate cognitive functions)10 ) , and the Trial Making Test (TMT) score (a test to assess attention functions)11 ) , and examined the relationships between them.…”

[Purpose] The present study, was conducted to examine the occlusal force and physical, cognitive, and attentional functions of elderly females living in the community to evaluate the significance of measuring the occlusal force. [Subjects and Methods] The number of subjects was 104. The Occlusal Force Meter GM10 was used to measure their occlusal force. Their physical functions were assessed using eight examinations, including the 30-second Chair Stand Test, and the cognitive functions of the Mini-Mental State Examination and attention functions of the Trail Making Test. [Results] Significant correlations were noted between the occlusal force and all measurements, except for the results of forward bending in a sitting position. Multiple regression analysis was conducted with the occlusal force as an objective variable, and significant partial correlations were noted with the 30-second Chair Stand Test. [Conclusion] These results suggest that it is necessary to provide the elderly with comprehensive support focusing on maintaining their occlusal force, as a nursing care-prevention measure, to help them continue to live a healthy, independent life.
