Abstract:
Objectives:To evaluate the effect of different teeth arrangement methods on the masticatory efficiency of complete dentures.Methods: Three complete dentures for each of ten edentulous patients were made respectively by using maxillary teeth arrangement,mandibular teeth arrangement and comprehensive teeth arrangement methods.After three months of wearing,the masticatory efficiency of the three complete dentures was tested by light absorption method,and was compared to that of dentulous subjects.Results:The masticatory stroke and masticatory efficiency in denture wearing group were fewer and weaker than those in dentulous group in either bilateral mastication or unilateral mastication. Good masticatory efficiency was gained after three months of wearing the complete dentures made by the three different teeth arrangement methods.There were no significant difference in the masticatory stroke and masticatory efficiency of complete dentures made by mandibular teeth arrangement and comprehensive teeth arrangement methods,but they were both higher than those made by maxillary teeth arrangement method.Conclusions:The complete dentures made by mandibular teeth arrangement method and comprehensive teeth arrangement method are feasible for restoration of masticatory efficiency of endentulous patients.
