Abstract EN
Objective.
The aim of this study was to evaluate sensibility threshold for interocclusal thickness in experienced and nonexperienced denture wearers after the insertion of new complete dentures.
Materials and Methods.
A total of 88 patients with complete dentures have participated in this study.
The research was divided into two experimental groups, compared with the previous experience prosthetic dental treatment.
The sensibility threshold for interocclusal thickness was measured with metal foil with 8 μm thickness and width of 8 mm, placed between the upper and lower incisor region.
Statistical analysis was performed using standard software package BMDP (biomedical statistical package).
Results.
Results suggest that time of measurement affects the average values of the sensibility threshold for interocclusal thickness (F = 242.68, p = 0.0000).
Gender appeared to be a significant factor when it interacted with time measurement resulting in differences in sensibility threshold for interocclusal thickness (gender: F = 9.84, p = 0.018; F = 4.83, p = 0.0003).
Conclusion.
The sensibility threshold for interocclusal thickness was the most important functional adaptation in patient with complete dentures.
A unique trait of this indicator is the progressive reduction of initial values and a tendency to reestablish the stationary state in the fifteenth week after dentures is taken off.
