To Study The OHRQOL Of Patients Wearing Lingualized Occlusion Complete Dentures

Objective:To study the OHRQOL of patients wearing lingualized occlusion complete dentures and evaluate if lingualized occlusion has superiority to anatomic bilateral banlaced occlusion in clinical settings.Method: Each of the ten patients enrolled in the cross-over designed trial has weared the dentures of lingualized occlusion and anatomic bilateral banlaced occlusion for 8 weeks in different phases respectively. In each phase ,subjective data was collected using 20-item version of the Oral Health Impact Profile to measure the OHRQOL.Result:Lingualized occlusion were perceived to be significantly superior in terms of fitting properly(P=0.046),avoiding certain foods(P=0.025), meals interrup -tion(P=0.025), and the total score of OHIP,compared with anatomic bilateral banlaced occlusion. There was no statistically significant difference in other.Conclusion: The lingualized occlusion can inprove the OHRQOL of patients wearing complete dentures,compared with anatomic bilateral banlaced occlusion.
