Study summary

This is a randomized control trial to compare masticatory performance in complete dentures with bilateral balanced occlusion or lingualized occlusion.

Read the detailed description

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Masticatory Efficiency in Complete Dentures by weighing the dried chewed material through electric balance

    The chewed material that has been sieved through 10-mesh sieve and dried through blotting paper for 30 minutes weighted using an electronic balance with a precision of 0.01 grams . Statistical analysis performed to evaluate masticatory efficiency based on the mean weight of chewed peanuts.

    Time frame: upto 24 weeks
