“…Our results also showed that regardless of groups, patient satisfaction was greater after the installation of the new dentures. These results corroborate with Medeiros et al (2019) 28 , who also reported the recovery of functional and aesthetical parameters with new RPD and/or CD. In the presence of a damaged health condition, it is reasonable to think that after a deficient dental prostheses use, delivery new prosthetic devices may increase the level of satisfaction of the autoimmune disease bearers' patients.…”

“…Hence, these outcomes possibly indicate that RA does not influence the social life aspects of elderly, but uniquely the presence of TMD and the use of misfit dentures. In this sense, a systematic review exhibited that the use of new and comfortable dentures provided better masticatory efficiency and fitting over the soft tissues, contributing to the higher values of OHIP functional and physical domains 28 . Indeed, given the worries concerning the old prostheses conditions, the lack of retention, support, and stability, may bring a psychological discomfort to make social contacts, keep interpersonal interaction, rather than strictly because of an autoimmune disease.…”

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that affects joint tissues and causes severe physical and functional impairments on quality of life due to muscular and articular pain. The involvement of temporomandibular joint in RA interferes with mouth opening and masticatory process. However, no studies addressed the impact of RA on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and satisfaction with prostheses use in elderly people. Aim: This study assessed the impact of oral rehabilitation with conventional dentures on the OHRQoL and prostheses satisfaction in elderly patients with RA, associated or not with temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Methods: Forty-five elderly were enrolled and divided into three groups: (1) RA and TMD (n=15, experimental), (2) RA without TMD (n=15, experimental), and (3) without RA and without TMD (n=15, control). The OHRQoL and the prostheses satisfaction were evaluated before and after new oral rehabilitation with partial and/or complete dentures. The OHRQoL and prosthesis satisfaction were assessed and verified through OHIP-14 questionnaire and visual analogue scale, respectively. Results: TMD group exhibited the worst mean values (P<0.05) for all OHIP-14 domains before insertion of new dentures. Group 2 showed worst means (P<0.05) compared to controls for functional limitation and physical pain domains of the OHIP-14, but not in the general score. Patients showed better outcomes of satisfaction with prostheses use only after the new rehabilitation. Conclusion: The use of new and well-fitted dentures improves all domains of OHRQoL in patients with RA and TMD and all groups were satisfied with prostheses use after the new rehabilitation with conventional dentures.

“…This poor self-perception of oral health is generally related to a low quality of life. Thus, rehabilitation with removable prostheses can contribute to an improvement in not just in masticatory capacity but also a better quality of life (Medeiros et al, 2019;Barreto et al, 2015).…”

“…A viable solution is rehabilitation with removable prostheses. The conventional complete and removable partial dentures can improve the quality of life, when technically sound (Medeiros et al, 2019;Barreto et al, 2015).…”

Objective: This study aimed to identify the prevalence and factors associated with the need for removable prostheses in the elderly Brazilian population. In addition, its impact on eating difficulties and self-perceived oral health was determined. Methodology: This cross-sectional, population-based study used data from the last National Health Survey (NHS) carried out in Brazil. Chi-square test was used to initially analyze the data, followed by multiple Poisson regression to obtain adjusted prevalence ratios. Results: A total of 11,697 elderly people were included, of whom 90.8% needed removable prostheses. Complete dentures were needed in 40.9% of participants, while partial dentures were needed by 49.9%. The elderly who were older (p=0.001), had grayish-brown complexion (p=0.004), a low level of education (p<0.001), and multiple chronic diseases (p<0.001) had a greater need for removable prostheses. Successively, this need had an impact on poor self-perceived oral health (p<0.001) and greater difficulties in eating (p<0.001). Conclusion: The need for a removable prosthesis is associated with worse socioeconomic and health conditions. In addition, it has a negative impact on self-perceived oral health and feeding.

Objective: Clicking, popping, and crepitation is the most common symptom of Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD). TMD can be caused by tooth loss, and tooth loss is widespread among the elderly. Material and Methods: This research is using a correlational analysis with a cross-sectional study approach. Tooth loss was divided into six regions (R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6) and joint sounds were divided into four categories (clicking, popping, crepitation, normal).Result: Multinomial logistic regression analysis test for overall tooth loss showed a p-value of 0.000 in clicking and crepitation, and for popping, it has a p-value of 0.248. The results of tests on six regions of tooth loss obtained a p-value of 0.017 at R1 for clicking sound and p-value of 0.014 at R2 for crepitation. This showed that clicking and crepitation had a significant correlation with the amount of tooth loss (p<0.05). Conclusion:The amount of tooth loss has a significant relationship with clicking and crepitation of Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ).
