About this study

This study is a randomized control trial to compare the masticatory efficiency of complete dentures with bilateral balanced occlusion with that of lingualized occlusion . Grouping of participants was carried out. Participants divided into two groups one receiving complete dentures with bilateral balanced occlusion and the other group receiving complete dentures with lingualized occlusion . Each participant provided with 15g of peanuts and instructed to chew until ready to swallow . The chew material than spat into the designated container and participants asked to rinse their mouth with water , with the rinse being collected in the same container . The collected material than sieved through 10-Mesh sieve followed by drying the sieved content on blotting paper for 30 minutes. The dried material subsequently weight with an electric balance with precision of 0.01 grams . Masticatory efficiency assessed through mean weight of chewed peanuts.
