Mandibular free-end removable partial denture (RPD) wearers experienced less upper denture movement during chewing compared to complete denture wearers. These RPDs also demonstrated more precise vertical movements, indicating improved stability.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Prosthodontics
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Complete dentures and removable partial dentures (RPDs) are common prosthetic solutions for edentulism.
  • Understanding denture movement during mastication is crucial for optimizing patient function and comfort.
  • Free-end RPDs present unique biomechanical challenges due to the lack of posterior support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the pattern and variability of maxillary complete denture movement during chewing in patients wearing either complete dentures or mandibular free-end RPDs.
  • To investigate the influence of different food consistencies on denture displacement.

Main Methods:

  • Kinesiographic analysis using the K6-I Diagnostic System was employed to measure denture movement.
  • Participants included edentulous individuals (Group I) and those with bilateral posterior mandibular edentulism (Group II).

  • Mastication of bread and a polysulphide block was analyzed for vertical and lateral denture displacement.

    • Main Results:

    • Maxillary denture movement was significantly lower in Group II (mandibular free-end RPD wearers) irrespective of the food type.
    • Food consistency did not affect vertical or lateral denture positioning, but polysulphide blocks induced more anterior dislocation.
    • Group II exhibited reduced intra-individual variability in vertical axis movement, with bread yielding more precise vertical displacement.

    Conclusions:

    • Mandibular free-end RPD wearers demonstrate reduced and more predictable maxillary denture movements during mastication compared to complete denture wearers.
    • The findings suggest that mandibular RPDs may enhance the stability and functional performance of the opposing complete denture.
    • Further research could explore long-term outcomes and patient-reported satisfaction.
