Masticatory Efficiency in Implant-fixed Complete Dentures Compared to the Conventional Dentures

Masticatory Efficiency in Implant-fixed Complete Dentures Compared to the Conventional Dentures: a Randomized Clinical Trial by Color Mixing Analysis Test.

Purpose of this study is to compare the masticatory efficiency 'All on four' to 'Complete dentures on a class I ridge' with a color mixing analyzing test. Ten Patients with fixed complete dentures on implants and other ten patients with complete denture on a class I ridge (Atwood) had chewed a bicolor chewing gum (Hubba Bubba ®) for different number of cycles(5-10-15-20). The chewed gum is retrieved scanned and weighted to quantify masticatory efficiency

Inclusion Criteria:

• good general health, good intraoral conditions, and dentures in satisfactory conditions over edentulous high ridge Atwood's Class I. The minimum time of complete denture use ranged from 3 to 6 months. no temporomandibular dysfunction

Exclusion Criteria:

-
