Brief Summary:
The purpose of this experiment is to combine research on masticatory efficiency with the reconstructive expertise of the prosthodontics clinic focusing on implant-supported fixed dentures as the contemporary gold standard for reconstruction The goal is to investigate the impact of such prosthetic reconstructions on masticatory efficiency We will invite patients who have lost their second molar and have undergone single-implant-supported fixed denture reconstruction at the Prosthodontics Department of National Taiwan University Hospital to participate in masticatory function tests The tests will use a new and relatively simple chewing gum with the aim of enhancing patientsamp39 masticatory function through implant reconstruction in a clinical setting thereby improving patient well-being and understanding of dental implants On the research side the study aims to provide guidance for strategies in the reconstruction of masticatory function
Detailed Description:
Chewing is one of the important steps in the process of food digestion and it is crucial for human nutritional intake and oral health Chewing efficiency relates to the ability to eat and is influenced by many factors with the key factor being the absence of posterior teeth According to traditional occlusal theory the anterior teeth guide and act as a facade while the posterior teeth provide support and chewing function The loss of posterior teeth leads to a decrease in chewing efficiency In 1954 Dr A Albert Yurkstas and others proposed that in healthy adults the loss of the first molar results in a 33 decrease in chewing efficiency the loss of the second and third molars results in a 44 decrease and the loss of the first second and third molars results in a 78 decrease This study laid the foundation for understanding how tooth loss leads to decreased chewing efficiency and highlights the goal of prosthodontics to restore dental arches and chewing function to benefit people
The purpose of this experiment is to combine the study of chewing efficiency with the expertise of prosthodontics in reconstruction aiming to investigate the impact of contemporary gold-standard artificial implant-supported fixed restorations on chewing efficiency The study invites patients missing the second molar and those receiving implant-supported fixed prostheses reconstruction in the Department of Prosthodontics at National Taiwan University Hospital The new and simpler color-changeable chewing gum will be used to test their chewing efficiency This will explore the importance of implant-supported fixed prostheses in reconstructing chewing function after the loss of the second molar aiming to improve patient well-being and understanding of dental implants by restoring chewing function through clinical implant reconstruction In the research field this study provides guidance for the reconstruction strategies of chewing function
