The loss of teeth leads to difficulty in chewing and smiling and an unesthetic appearance. The present study assessed the role of complete dentures in improving the chewing efficiency of edentulous patients.
Eighty-two complete denture wearers of age group 40-75 years of both genders were enrolled in the study. The chewing efficiency of denture was determined by VMM machine. Patients were provided with the self- administered questionnaire and were advised to answer.
Out of 82 patients, there were 42 (51.2%) males and 40 (48.8%) females. The mean ± SD particle size was found to be 0.12 ± 0.07 mm in males and 0.13 ± 0.06 mm in females. A non-significant difference was observed ( > 0.05). The mean ± SD satisfaction level value was 1.28 ± 0.07.
There was improved chewing efficiency with the complete denture, and the patient satisfaction level was high among patients.
牙齿缺失会导致咀嚼和微笑困难以及外观不美观。本研究评估了全口义齿在提高无牙患者咀嚼效率方面的作用。
本研究纳入了82名年龄在40 - 75岁之间的全口义齿佩戴者，男女不限。通过VMM机器测定义齿的咀嚼效率。为患者提供了自填式问卷并建议他们作答。
82名患者中，男性有42名（51.2%），女性有40名（48.8%）。男性的平均±标准差粒径为0.12±0.07毫米，女性为0.13±0.06毫米。观察到差异无统计学意义（>0.05）。平均±标准差满意度评分为1.28±0.07。
全口义齿提高了咀嚼效率，患者的满意度较高。
