The effect of new complete dentures on mastication and dietary intake.

Masticatory efficiency, the subjective experience of masticatory performance, and dietary intake were measured for 43 subjects who were provided with new complete dentures. The subjects were tested on three occasions: with the old complete dentures, with the new complete dentures when free from symptoms, and with the new dentures about 4 months after insertion. Masticatory efficiency and the subjective experience of masticatory performance increased significantly when the subjects were provided with new dentures, but no changes were found in the dietary intake. With the new dentures the masticatory efficiency and the subjective experience of masticatory performance were correlated to each other.

The effect of removable partial dentures on mastication and dietary intake.

Masticatory efficiency, the subjective experience of masticatory performance, and dietary intake were evaluated in 19 subjects who were treated with a removable partial denture in the lower jaw. The subjects were tested on three occasions: before treatment, with the dentures when free from symptoms, and about 4 months after the dentures were inserted. Masticatory efficiency and the subjective experience of masticatory performance increased significantly after the subjects were provided with the dentures, but no changes were found in the dietary intake.

Masticatory efficiency and dental state. A comparison between two methods.

The masticatory efficiency of subjects with all natural teeth, with complete upper and partial lower dentures, and with complete dentures was measured. Two different methods were used. The results showed significant differences among the groups irrespective of the method used. The subjects with dentures compensated for decreasing masticatory efficiency by using more strokes when chewing until swallowing. Great interindividual differences were found within groups with similar dental states. There was no or weak correlation between the two methods. A value from one method corresponded to a large range of values in the other method and vice versa.
