Maxillary complete denture movement during function is highly individual. Denture fit did not significantly impact movement, suggesting personal factors are more influential than fit for these oral prosthetics.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Biomechanical Engineering
  • Prosthodontics

Background:

  • Complete dentures are common prosthetic solutions.
  • Understanding denture movement during function is crucial for patient satisfaction and oral health.
  • Previous research has not fully quantified maxillary denture movement relative to denture fit.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantitatively measure maxillary complete denture movement during chewing, swallowing, and speech.
  • To determine if denture fit (well-fitting vs. poorly fitting) influences denture movement.
  • To identify factors contributing to denture instability.

Main Methods:

  • 24 patients with complete maxillary dentures were studied.
  • 12 patients had well-fitting dentures, and 12 had poorly fitting dentures.

  • A Myotronics kinesiograph tracked denture movement via a magnet attached to the denture base.

    • Main Results:

    • Denture movement was most pronounced during chewing activities.
    • Significant individual variation in denture movement was observed.
    • No statistically significant differences in overall denture movement were found based on denture fit.

    Conclusions:

    • All maxillary complete dentures exhibit movement during function.
    • Individual patient factors, rather than denture fit, appear to be the primary determinant of movement extent.
    • Further research into individual biomechanics may improve denture design and stability.
