Evaluation of satisfaction with masticatory efficiency of new conventional complete dentures in edentulous patients ‐ a survey

Abstract

Thus, those patients who were edentulous previously and dissatisfied with their masticatory ability showed improvement after receiving a new set of conventional complete dentures.

Status of Removable Dentures and Relationship with Oral Candida‐Associated Factors in a Geriatric Population in Catalonia

“…The prevalence of discomfort experienced with dentures was very similar to that observed in a population of denture wearers in Madrid . Despite the longevity of the prostheses, subjective masticatory efficiency was good in most cases, which perhaps confirms that the use of prostheses improves patients’ quality of life …”

Technical Quality of Complete Dentures: Influence on Masticatory Efficiency and Quality of Life

“…Besides function, success in prosthodontics is also related to esthetics, psychological comfort, and improvement in general health . Thus, efficient dentures may correct functional and psychosocial limitations resultant from tooth loss . However, this result could be related to the short‐time follow‐up in this study.…”

“…In this context, an index to perform reproducible and evidence‐based quantitative analysis of denture quality needs to be selected. Likewise, an appropriate method for evaluation of the influence of denture quality on patient QoL should be used to identify influences of new CDs on individuals’ oral health …”

Relationship between prosthetic factors and oral health-related quality of life in complete denture wearers

“…The evaluation of masticatory ability was realized through a questioner established by Bajoria et al [11]. The patient pointed self-related scores answering the questions about the ability or lack of ability to comminute hard and soft foods, relating it with the discomfort and instability of the dentures, with perception of satisfaction in relation to the aesthetics, to the pleasure when eating, to the level of comfort and to the assurance with them.…”
