Masticatory Efficiency in Implant-fixed Complete Dentures Compared to the Conventional Dentures

Purpose of this study is to compare the masticatory efficiency 'All on four' to 'Complete dentures on a class I ridge' with a color mixing analyzing test. Ten Patients with fixed complete dentures on implants and other ten patients with complete denture on a class I ridge (Atwood) had chewed a bicolor chewing gum (Hubba Bubba ®) for different number of cycles(5-10-15-20). The chewed gum is retrieved scanned and weighted to quantify masticatory efficiency

Treatment and study plan

mixing analysing test

Behavioral

The chewed gum is retrieved scanned and weighted to quantify masticatory efficiency

Other names: gum weight, hubba bubba

Primary outcomes

  1. color analysis mixing test

    Time frame: from 5 up to 20 second

    a two color chewing gum is chewed for a specific number of cycles, gum is scanned and color mixing is analysed by a software called View Gum

Secondary outcomes

  1. weight reduction

    Time frame: from 5 up to 20 second

    gum is weighted before each chewing cycle than dried and weighted after chewing.weight reduction is the secondary outcome for mastication efficiency analyzing
