“…3 and 4 show that the CD-group still had prob lems with chewing tough and hard food. These results correspond with those of G u n n e & W a l l (34). They reported that new conventional complete dentures im proved the subjective chewing ability, but that chewing tough or hard foodstuffs was difficult.…”

-This study is a two-center clinical trial with the aim to assess the treat ment effects of implant-retained mandibular overdentures versus conventional com plete dentures. Treatment had been assigned according to a balanced allocation method. The following criteria were used to enhance the comparability of the treatment groups: age, gender, the edentulous period of the mandible, the num ber of previously made mandibular dentures, the number of years having worn the present mandibular denture and the symphyseal bone height, 151 patients with severely resorbed mandibles participated in the study, they were treated at two centers. Ninety-one patients received an implant-retained mandibular overdenture (IRO) and 60 patients a conventional complete denture (CD). Since some patients refused the allocated treatment the ''Intention To Treat" principle was applied. This implies that patients are evaluated in the originally allocated treatment group re gardless of the actual treatment they received. Patient's experiences were evaluated before treatment and 1 yr after insertion of the new dentures. Results before treatment showed that both treatment groups were comparable: they were dissatis fied with their mandibular denture and they could hardly chew tough or hard foods. One year after insertion of the new dentures the IRO-group was satisfied with their mandibular denture, whereas only one third of the CD-group was satisfied. With respect to the chewing ability the IRO-group scored significantly better than the CD-group (/><0.0001).

“…Die antagonistichewing rates are the main criteria for defining impaired masticatory function [102,103], the parameter for masticatory performance is usually defined by the size distribution of food particles after a given number of masticatory cycles [4]. The screening technique already used in the 1920s is still in use today [26,28]. Alternatively, masticatory efficiency is described by the number of masticatory cycles necessary to break up food to a specific maximum particle size [72].…”

The relationship between malocclusion and the gastrointestinal system has only been examined occasionally, while several pertinent studies have addressed the chewing function as a functional link between oral structures and the gastrointestinal tract. Following an overview of the physiological masticatory process, the available evidence regarding associations among dental status, chewing function and gastrointestinal disorders are summarized. Finally, a review of the relationships between orthodontic deformities and mastication is presented.

“…Optimizing full dentures has been shown to improve chewing efficiency (Gunne & Wall, 1985). In the study of Heath (1972), persons with better fitting dentures were able to chew twice as many hard foods as persons with poor fitting dentures.…”
