“…Humans masticate food most effectively when the clearances between the maxillary and mandibular molars are within 2 mm (13). In addition, the clenching intensity increases in the intercuspal position (14).…”

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of an acrylic-based resilient liner (ARL) on masticatory ability by verifying the null hypothesis that masticatory performance and mandibular movements do not differ between people who wear mandibular complete dentures with ARL and those who wear complete dentures with conventional acrylic resin (CAR). From April 2004 to July 2006, we conducted a randomized controlled trial study at two centres. After written informed consent was obtained from 74 edentulous patients, they were randomly allocated to either the ARL group or CAR group. Masticatory performance and mandibular movement at the lower incisal point during chewing were measured as the outcomes. We did not observe significant differences in both outcomes between the groups. The chewing cycles were significantly different during the initial, middle, and final phases of mastication. Within the limitations of the current study, the results indicate that the acrylic-based resilient denture liners used have no clinical impact on the masticatory ability of complete denture wearers.

“…Yurkstas (1963) studied twenty edentulous subjects with complete dentures with different geometric occlusal carvings and Hardy teeth and found that masticatory efficiency was improved after 1 year. Vinton & Manly (1955) found that in a study of thirty-eight subjects there was some slight improvement in masticatory performance and efficiency during the first 6 months in adults under the age of 60 years receiving their first complete dentures. They did not find this with persons who had worn complete dentures previously.…”

A review and evaluation of the literature on mastication has been undertaken. Part I discusses the form of the masticatory cycle in the natural and artificial dentitions, including the controversial question of whether tooth contact occurs during function. Part II reviews the literature concerning the speed of movement of the mandible, rate of chewing, and the forces developed in chewing. Part III describes masticatory efficiency and performance, the effect of food on masticatory function, and incorporates a summary of all these three papers.

“…The chewing capacity and performance is enhanced after placement of the prosthesis when compared with the edentulous situation (Yurkstas 1953;Vinton & Manly 1955), as well as after the surgical implant prosthetic procedure, when compared with wearers of conventional dentures (Wismeyer et al 1995). Alterations related to the interdental positioning of the tongue during swallowing and correlated disturbances are described for the swallowing function in the edentulous individuals and denture wearers (Sheppard & Sheppard 1977;Cunha et al 1999).…”
