Nagaoka","doi":"10.2186/PRP.7.89","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2186/PRP.7.89","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether or not abutment tooth support helps to stabilize the overdenture using the dynamics of atmospheric pressure (DAP) as an index of denture stability.Methods: Experimental dentures for measuring DAP were prepared by indirectly relining duplicates of overdentures used by five subjects (1 male, 4 females). The experimental dentures were relieved at the part of the abutment teeth. These dentures were not supported by the abutment teeth (non tooth-supported overdenture). Those were adjusted and used for 1 week. DAP under non tooth-supported overdenture was measured three times at the center of the palatal plate under experimental conditions with and without food in the mouth. After the measurements, non tooth-supported overdentures were immediately placed in contact with the abutment teeth using an auto-polymerizing resin (tooth-supported overdentures). DAP under tooth-supported overdentures was measured in a similar manner to that under non tooth-supported overdenture. Measurements for the respective experimental dentures were compared.Results: Under both experimental conditions with and without food in the mouth, the respective patterns of DAP using tooth-supported overdentures and non tooth-supported overdentures were similar. However, the amount of change of atmospheric pressure (AP) was significantly smaller under tooth-supported overdenture than under non tooth-supported overdenture.Conclusion: It is considered that smaller changes of AP reflect better stability of dentures. Accordingly, the stability of tooth-supported overdenture was superior to that of non tooth-supported overdenture.","PeriodicalId":306414,"journal":{"name":"Prosthodontic Research & Practice","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114320145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The load-measuring devices were mounted on the implants inserted in the mandible of a 62 aged female subject. Either two or four implants connected with a bar were used for supporting her overdenture. The loads on the implants were expressed three dimensionally as load vectors and were analyzed in the coordinates based on the Frankfort horizontal plane and sagittal plane. The tasks examined were maximum voluntary clenching (MVC) and gum chewing (GC). The total load exerted on the implants with a four-implant supported overdenture (4I-Od) was larger than that with a two-implants supported overdenture (2I-Od) at MVC. The maximum occlusal force on the overdenture showed the same manner (p<0.01). The directions of the loads were posterior and lateral at MVC. The total load exerted on the implants located on the working side, was larger than that on the implants located on the non-working side during GC in the case of 4I-Od. The similar manner was also observed in the 2I-Od. The tensile loads were registered during GC. The functional loads exerted on the individual implants in the case of 4I-Od were smaller than those in the 2I-Od. The loads on the implants during function are thus affected by the number of implants supporting the overdenture.","PeriodicalId":306414,"journal":{"name":"Prosthodontic Research & Practice","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124421494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tongue pressure on an experimental palatal plate with four pressure sensors was recorded simultaneously with surface electromyography measurements of suprahyoid muscles during swallowing of 3 ml of water. Measurements were performed 6 times: immediately after placement of the experimental palatal plate (Day 0), and on Day 1, Day 3, Day 7, Day 10, and Day 14. Temporal changes were analyzed in terms of the order of EMG activity and tongue pressure, and the duration for total swallowing (DTS), oral preparatory stage (DOPS), oral stage (DOS), and pharyngeal stage (DPS).Results: Onset of activity of the suprahyoid muscles was observed significantly earlier in all regions compared to onset of tongue pressure. Onset of tongue pressure in the posterior region was significantly delayed compared to onset of tongue pressure in another region. These results remained constant over the measurement period. DTS and DOS were significantly shortened on and after Days 3 and 7, respectively, compared to the respective values on Day 0. DOPS was significantly shortened on Day 7, compared to Day 0 and 1. DPS showed no significant change over time.Conclusion: The time required for swallowing shows a tendency to decrease over time as a subject becomes accustomed to a palate covering. This was mainly due to shortening of the oral stage.","PeriodicalId":306414,"journal":{"name":"Prosthodontic Research & Practice","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125922518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Saxon test was performed by chewing a gauze sponge for 2 minutes. Oral moisture was measured at the lingual mucosa (LM) and buccal mucosa (BM) by using an oral moisture checking device. Group differences in the amount of stimulated saliva and oral moisture were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test and Student's t test.Results: The average amount of salivary secretion in OD and HA in the Saxon test was 0.65 ± 0.55 and 2.34 ± 1.41 g/2 min, respectively; the difference between the groups was significant (p < 0.01). The oral moisture at the LM in OD and HA was 27.2% ± 2.9% and 32.3% ± 1.7%, respectively; this difference was significant (p < 0.01). The oral moisture at the BM in OD and HA was 32.6% ± 2.1% and 34.0% ± 2.2%, respectively; this difference was also significant (p < 0.05).Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the amount of stimulated saliva became less than 2.00 g and the moisture at the LM became less than 30.0% in patients with subjective oral dryness. These results suggest that stimulated saliva and oral moisture are related to subjective oral dryness; thus, both the Saxon test and the test using an oral moisture checking device are useful for the assessment of subjective oral dryness.","PeriodicalId":306414,"journal":{"name":"Prosthodontic Research & Practice","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131452705","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The voices of 5 subjects were recorded without the experimental palatal plates and with them. The voice samples were analyzed with the soft for judging the individual recognition rates by the voices. And the rates of individual recognition, the time durations and the pitch curves for every word were observed. By the palatal plates, the rates of individual recognition decreased, the time durations increased, the pitch curves changed little. And by the palatal plates, there were significance (p<0.05) about the rates of individual recognition and the time durations, but there were not significance (p<0.05) about the pitch curves by the two-way layout ANOVA. The frequencies of the pitch curve changed by the vocal chords vibration and affected to the height of the voice. So they did not change by the labial and buccal plates.
