The effect of new complete dentures on mastication and dietary intake.

Masticatory efficiency, the subjective experience of masticatory performance, and dietary intake were measured for 43 subjects who were provided with new complete dentures. The subjects were tested on three occasions: with the old complete dentures, with the new complete dentures when free from symptoms, and with the new dentures about 4 months after insertion. Masticatory efficiency and the subjective experience of masticatory performance increased significantly when the subjects were provided with new dentures, but no changes were found in the dietary intake. With the new dentures the masticatory efficiency and the subjective experience of masticatory performance were correlated to each other.

The effect of removable partial dentures on mastication and dietary intake.

Masticatory efficiency, the subjective experience of masticatory performance, and dietary intake were evaluated in 19 subjects who were treated with a removable partial denture in the lower jaw. The subjects were tested on three occasions: before treatment, with the dentures when free from symptoms, and about 4 months after the dentures were inserted. Masticatory efficiency and the subjective experience of masticatory performance increased significantly after the subjects were provided with the dentures, but no changes were found in the dietary intake.

Masticatory efficiency and dental state. A comparison between two methods.

The masticatory efficiency of subjects with all natural teeth, with complete upper and partial lower dentures, and with complete dentures was measured. Two different methods were used. The results showed significant differences among the groups irrespective of the method used. The subjects with dentures compensated for decreasing masticatory efficiency by using more strokes when chewing until swallowing. Great interindividual differences were found within groups with similar dental states. There was no or weak correlation between the two methods. A value from one method corresponded to a large range of values in the other method and vice versa.

Masticatory efficiency. A new method for determination of the breakdown of masticated test material.

One of the purposes of mastication is to break down the food and enlarge the area of food particles. A method is described by which the masticatory efficiency is estimated by calculating the area of a chewed test material, gelatin-hardened by formalin. When test pieces, after being chewed, are placed in a water-soluble dye, the dye will diffuse into the particles, and consequently the dye concentration in the surrounding solution will decrease. The concentration of the dye solution is read from a photometer. A close correlation was found between the gelatin particle area and the reduction of the dye solution concentration. The method will be applied in clinical studies.

Masticatory efficiency of complete denture patients. A clinical examination of potential changes at the transition from old to new denture.

The masticatory efficiency was studied among 19 complete denture wearers with their old and new dentures. The test chewing material was gelatin hardened by formalin. A standardized preparation of the test chewing material and the sieve-system is described. The patients were tested on seven different occasions from the period with the old dentures until about 1.5 years after the insertion of the new dentures. The test pieces were chewed for ten seconds--a practice test--20 seconds and until ready to be swallowed. The chewed material was strained in a sieve-system and masticatory efficiency indices were calculated. The results revealed no statistical significant differences in masticatory efficiency between any of the seven testing occasions with the method used. Thus no significant difference was noticed when patients changed from old to new dentures or during the first 18 months after insertion of new dentures.
