This study shows that prosthodontic treatment significantly improves masticatory function and efficiency in patients with complete maxillary dentures and fixed partial dentures. Patients experienced enhanced oral function and no signs of dysfunction after treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Prosthodontics
  • Oral Rehabilitation

Background:

  • Complete maxillary dentures and fixed partial dentures are common prosthetic solutions.
  • Evaluating oral function after complex prosthodontic rehabilitation is crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of prosthodontic treatment on oral function and masticatory efficiency.
  • To evaluate occlusal force and patient-reported outcomes over 30 months post-treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Study included 11 patients with complete maxillary dentures and 12-unit mandibular fixed partial dentures.
  • Established methods were used to evaluate oral function, masticatory efficiency, and occlusal force.
  • Follow-up examinations were conducted at specific intervals up to 30 months post-treatment.

Main Results:

  • All patients reported substantial improvement in masticatory function.
  • Masticatory efficiency increased, indicated by fewer swallow cycles and reduced mastication time.
  • Occlusal force elevated post-treatment, with forces on cantilever extensions similar to canine regions.

Conclusions:

  • Prosthodontic treatment, including complete dentures and fixed partial dentures, significantly enhances masticatory function and efficiency.
  • The treatment leads to improved occlusal force and positive patient-reported outcomes without dysfunction.
  • Long-term evaluation up to 30 months confirms the sustained benefits of the prosthodontic interventions.
