MASTICATORY EFFICIENCY AS CRITERION OF ESTIMATION OF FUNCTIONAL STATE OF DENTOALVEOLAR SYSTEM
2016
Masticatory efficiency is one of the most important problems of human’s dental health.
It was improved available masticatory tests in modern conditions resulted in the combination of up-to-date in- edible materials use with the facilities of computer analysis of masticatory outcomes. The last component provides numeric indices which can be easily interpreted and archived for further clinic and statistic comparison and analysis.
Modern versions of the suggested masticatory tests also have some disadvantages, such as frequent unavailability of testing material, its irritating effect on oral cavity tissues and irrelevance of its physic and mechanic properties to actual functional capabilities of the tested persons.
It was determined such masticatory test results as the growth of 50–500 pixels fragment number from 65,35 to 84,95 in comparable group and from 77,15 to 89,55 in experimental group and it was shown the improvement of masticatory performance and functional adaptation to removable dentures in both groups. However, removable denture stabilization with the help of magnetic fixators of intraosteal implants provides obvious benefits in masticatory performance in early period after prosthesis as well as in distant terms. So, it determines results of the developed authors’ technique of masticatory efficiency estimation.
It was developed masticatory efficiency index by authors for further investigation including parameters of fragments number and their area.
It was also developed technique for other clinical groups in order to study the state of dentoalveolar system in norm and different abnormalities.
