Abstract

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to assess the evolution of chewing force in edentulous geriatric patients rehabilitated with complete dentures. Chewing function is compromised in individuals who lose all their teeth, as well as in those with complete dentures. The maintenance and recovery of the chewing function in these patients require replacement of the lost natural teeth. Materials and Methods In this study, the chewing force was evaluated by electromyographic analysis of the temporalis and masseter muscle endings in 120 patients with old and new bimaxillary complete dentures. Results Replacement of complete dentures was shown to improve stability, retention, occlusion, and support of the prosthesis. All jaw movements were evaluated using electromyography to assess the evolution of chewing force with and without occlusal adjustment, identify premature contact points, identify occlusal interference, respect the balanced occlusal scheme, and assess the increase in muscle strength. This study found that muscle strength in patients with prosthesis without occlusal adjustment was 527.1 N but was higher for prostheses with occlusal adjustment at 614.7 N, and this strength of 614.7 N was maintained after 1 month of control. Conclusion The chewing force evolved in patients with complete dentures, and an increase was observed when occlusal adjustment was performed.

老年无牙患者咀嚼力的变化

抽象目标本研究的目的是评估使用全口义齿修复的老年无牙患者咀嚼力的演变。所有牙齿脱落的人以及全口义齿患者的咀嚼功能都会受损。这些患者的咀嚼功能的维持和恢复需要更换丢失的天然牙齿。材料和方法在本研究中，通过对120例新旧双上颌全口义齿患者颞肌和咬肌末梢的肌电图分析来评估咀嚼力。后果更换全口义齿可以提高义齿的稳定性、固位性、咬合性和支撑性。使用肌电图评估所有下颌运动，以评估咬合调整和不调整时咀嚼力的演变，识别过早接触点，识别咬合干扰，尊重平衡咬合方案，并评估肌肉力量的增加。这项研究发现，在没有咬合调整的情况下使用假肢的患者的肌肉力量为527.1 N，但在614.7时咬合调整的假体更高 N、这个614.7的强度在对照1个月后维持N。结论全口义齿患者的咀嚼力发生了变化，在进行咬合调整时观察到咀嚼力增加。

期刊介绍： European Journal of General Dentistry (EJGD) is one of the leading open-access international dental journal within the field of Dentistry. The aim of EJGD is publishing novel and high-quality research papers, as well as to influence the practice of dentistry at clinician, research, industry and policy-maker level on an international basis. EJGD publishes articles on all disciplines of dentistry including the cariology, orthodontics, oral surgery, preventive dentistry, periodontology, endodontology, operative dentistry, fixed and removable prosthodontics, dental biomaterials science, long-term clinical trials including epidemiology and oral health, technology transfer of new scientific instrumentation or procedures, as well as clinically relevant oral biology and translational research.Moreover, EJGD also publish the scientific researches evaluating the use of new biomaterials, new drugs and new methods for treatment of patients with different kinds of oral and maxillofacial diseases or defects, the diagnosis of oral and maxillofacial diseases with new methods, etc. Moreover, researches on the quality of life, psychological interventions, improving disease treatment outcomes, the prevention, diagnosis and management of cancer therapeutic complications, rehabilitation, palliative and end of life care, and support teamwork for cancer care and oral health care for old patients are also welcome. EJGD publishes research articles, case reports, reviews and comparison studies evaluating materials and methods in the all fields of related to dentistry.
