The inclusion of masticatory function tests for patients with dentures under medical insurance has now made it possible to conduct function tests based on patient opinion and dentist experience, from the prosthetic diagnosis and treatment stages through post-treatment evaluation. Denture satisfaction depends on the patient’s subjective opinion. In this case, fabricated dentures were evaluated using the indices of glucose elution amount and occlusal contact area at three time points ; before and after wearing the denture and three months after wearing the denture. The glucose elution amount increased approximately 3-fold three months after wearing the dentures, compared to the amount before denture wear. In addition, the occlusal contact area increased about 2.5-fold three months after wearing the dentures, compared to before denture wear. Furthermore, there was a significant positive correlation between the glucose elution amount and occlusal contact area, with a correlation coefficient of 0.84 (p=0.005). Qualitative evaluation of the occlusal relationship was possible with images of occlusal contact using the Dental Prescale® system. The above findings suggest that glucose elution and occlusal contact area measurements may enable the quantitative evaluation of the masticatory function of fitted dentures. |
