Implant supported overdenture compared to complete denture

An assessment of the patient's brain activity will be done. The waves obtained during all phases of assessment will be analyzed, and the software will separate the alpha waves, which occur in the frequency range of 8-12 Hz, evaluating their amplitude. The mean amplitude (in microvolts) of alpha waves was obtained.

Cognitive function will be assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) questionnaire. The MMSE set, with a total score of 30, assesses different domains of cognitive function. The MMSE comprises 30 questions, with 10 devoted to orientation; three items requiring registration of new information; five questions addressing attention and calculation; three recall items; eight items assessing language skills; and one construction question. Any score of 24 or more (out of 30) indicates normal cognition. Scores below this indicate severe (9 points), moderate (10-18 points), or mild (19-23 points) cognitive impairment.

The highest EMG activity in the masseter muscle and the anterior temporalis muscle will be calculated during the maximum clenching, maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) in the intercuspal position. The EMG signals will be stored and analyzed as root mean square (RMS) values expressed in microvolts (μV) and the mean amplitude of the motor unit potential (MUP) will be calculated in microvolts (μV).
