Psychosocial Factors in Adaptation to Dentures
Published in Eli Ilana, Oral Psychophysiology, 2020
In a long-term clinical study of complete denture wearers,37 a discrepancy was found between patient satisfaction with the dentures and the dentist’s assessment of their quality. According to the clinical examination, 63% of the subjects needed new dentures or substantial adjustment; however, more than 70% showed excellent adaptation to denture wearing, and only 6% assessed the total denture function as less than adequate.
Diseases of the Masticatory Complex

Bone resorption in the edentulous alveolar process is inevitable and gradually leads to functional problems in many complete denture wearers.3 The best prevention for this situation is, of course, to avoid extraction of the last few teeth. There are a series of therapeutic alternatives, which all are better than conventional complete dentures. They vary from simple overdentures to sophisticated partial denture constructions which utilize the remaining teeth as abutments for different types of retention.55
Oral problems: speech, diet and oral care

Dentists planning to provide a person with PD with complete dentures for the first time might consider the use of overdentures (where strategic roots of teeth are left in the jaw bone and the denture sits over them) as they help to retain proprioception and maintain jaw control. For the person with early PD who requires dentures, consideration should be given to the possible role of dental implants or implant-retained overdentures. Although this is an expensive option, it may well be cost effective in the long term, providing the individual with security and helping to preserve their self-esteem and social contacts.

Overall, chronotherapy applications in dentistry have shown favourable outcomes. Although evidence thus far suggests that chrono-chemotherapy and chrono-radiotherapy could be promising therapeutic regimens for head and neck cancer, standardized study protocols are needed. While chronotherapy of orthodontic treatments in animal trials revealed promising results, human clinical trials are lacking. Prolonged and profound local anesthesia could be achieved when injected in the afternoon. However, chronotherapy of local anesthesia should be further investigated in an optimized study design. In addition, even though NSAIDs chronotherapy could be an effective and simple dosing regimen to better control post-operative pain after surgery, multicenter RCTs should be further conducted. Finally, centric record accuracy for complete denture fabrication showed time-dependency, while time of surgery showed no correlation with post-operative incidence of complications.

According to QUADAS guidelines, the quality scores ranged from 9 to 12 (out of 14). Due to the diversity of occlusal indicators, the quantitative indicators were classified into the following six categories according to different outcomes of the studies: maximum bite force (arch or segments), relative occlusal force distributed on the individual implant, the specific bite force measured at the moment during the chewing process, duration of the bite force and occlusal contact teeth number or occlusion time. All quantitative digital occlusal parameters and the clinical significance of each research are listed in Table 2. Two studies [32,37] focussed on the comparison of masticatory performance between implant overdentures and complete dentures. Four studies [30,34,38,41] observed the changes in occlusal force distribution after single crowns. Three studies [33,42,43] observed the clinical manifestations of the occlusal force of implant-supported dentures of different designs or components. Four studies [35,36,39, 0] analysed the factors influencing bite force or correlation between bite force and oral health, such as bone resorption, occlusal design and complications. One study [31] measured the ability to adjust occlusal in implant-retained overdenture.

Pre-prosthetic procedures included: attendance of a program of professional dental hygiene to nullify differences in preoperative hygiene conditions and atraumatic extractions of remaining 3 maxillary teeth without elevation of the full-thickness flap to preserve the bone ridges and soft tissue. The alveolar nerve block was obtained by using 2% mepivacaine. Both groups of participants, with and without diabetes, were indicated for immediate complete denture in order to provide T2DM participants with adequate mastication and to standardize the study conditions. The existing mandibular complete dentures were replaced on the day of receiving maxillary immediate complete dentures. The surgical protocol and clinical evaluation were conducted at the Clinic of Oral Surgery, School of Dental Medicine in Belgrade. The fabrication of new dentures (maxillary immediate complete dentures and mandibular complete dentures) and post-insertion denture adjustments necessary for removing difficulties that included pain and discomfort were performed at the Department of Prosthodontics, School of Dental Medicine in Belgrade. The study received approval from the Ethics Committee of the School of Dental Medicine, University of Belgrade (No. 32/36 in 2012 year) and was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration.
