The aim of this study was to evaluate the improvement in mandibular complete dentures (MCD) stability using a modified neutral zone technique (MNZT).
For 21 patients who were dissatisfied with their primary MCD, MCDs were fabricated using the MNZT.
Nearly all of the patients showed considerable improvement in oral health-related quality of life, and 85.7% of the patients stated an improvement in general denture stability and while chewing. A masticatory function test showed no significant changes.
This MNZT seems to improve MCD function, especially in patients who cannot be treated with implants.
本研究的目的是评估使用改良中性区技术(MNZT)对下颌全口义齿(MCD)稳定性的改善情况。
对于21例对其初次MCD不满意的患者,使用MNZT制作MCD。
几乎所有患者的口腔健康相关生活质量都有显著改善,85.7%的患者表示义齿在总体稳定性和咀嚼时有所改善。咀嚼功能测试未显示出显著变化。
这种MNZT似乎能改善MCD的功能,尤其是在无法进行种植治疗的患者中。
