Swallowing thresholds of mandibular implant-retained overdentures with variable portion sizes.

چکیده
We analysed the effect of three portion sizes Optocal Plus (small, medium and large) on swallowing thresholds in subjects with either conventional complete dentures or mandibular implant-retained overdentures (transmandibular and permucosal cylindric implants). Tests were carried out in 52 women and 15 men (mean age 59 years) 4 years after treatment in a randomised controlled clinical trial. The results indicated that the degree of mucosal support for the mandibular denture did not affect the number of chewing strokes, time till swallowing or swallowed particle size. Only the chewing rate differed: subjects wearing mandibular implant-retained overdentures chewed the food at a higher rate than complete-denture wearers. With larger portion sizes, subjects needed significantly more chewing strokes and time until swallowing and they would have swallowed larger particles. Men chewed their food more efficiently than women, as they used the same number of chewing strokes and time, but achieved a greater particle size reduction at the swallowing moment.

PURPOSE To compare prefabricated and custom-made bars used for implant-retained mandibular complete overdentures. MATERIALS Ten completely edentulous patients were selected for replacement with dental implants. Each patient received 2 (press-fit) dental implants, 1 implant on each side in the canine regions of the mandible. The implants were left submerged (unloaded) for a healing osseointegr...

OBJECTIVES In contrast to the excellent long-term outcomes described for implant-supported mandibular overdentures, less favorable long-term survival and success rates have been reported for maxillary implants supporting overdentures. The aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment outcome of "planned" bar-retained maxillary and mandibular overdentures supported by Morse taper connection im...

Patients wearing conventional dentures often complain about the instability of the prosthesis, particularly the mandibular denture. Denture instability leads to feeling of insecurity, inefficient mastication, and overall dissatisfaction with the prosthesis. Implant-retained dentures have been developed and studied as a method for solving the problem of instability associated with conventional d...
