Abstract

The study aimed to comparatively evaluate the effect of complete denture fabricated with two different occlusal schemes that is Monoplane and Lingualized occlusion on bite force and ability to masticate in completely edentulous patients with resorbed ridges. Materials and Methods: Twenty completely edentulous patients with resorbed ridges, ranging in age from 50 to 82 years with willingness to participate in the study were selected from outpatient department. Firstly, 20 patients enrolled in the study protocol were treated with complete dentures fabricated with Monoplane occlusal scheme (group 1) and then the same 20 patients were treated with complete dentures having Lingualized occlusal Scheme (group 2). Main objective outcome variables involved were evaluating and comparing greater positive results for masticatory efficiency and bite force in Complete Dentures fabricated by incorporating Monoplane and lingualized Occlusal scheme. Statistical assessments of two groups were compared and analysed using unpaired or independent ‘student’ t-test and the level of the significance of the test. Results: The occlusal scheme incorporated exhibited significant correlations with masticatory performance in terms of number of particles left on sieve and weight of particles left on sieve (P = .001). The occlusal scheme incorporated exhibited significant correlations with Bite Force (p=.034). Conclusion: The study revealed that edentulous patients who received complete dentures with Lingualized occlusion expressed greater masticatory performance and generated increased biteforce with their denture.
