Canine Guidance vs Bilateral Balanced Occlusion in Complete Denture

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Edentulous Jaw
Edentulous Mouth
Interventions
Procedure: Occlusal scheme
Registration Number
NCT01420536
Lead Sponsor
University of Sao Paulo
Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to compare the canine guidance (CG) and bilateral balanced occlusion (BBO) on denture satisfaction and kinesiographic parameters of complete denture wearers, by means of a cross-over trial. Edentulous patients will receive new maxillary and mandibular complete dentures and, after the intraoral adjustments and adaptation period, will randomly receive a sequence of occlusal schemes: BBO followed by CG, or CG followed by BBO.

Bilateral Balanced OcclusionOcclusal schemeComplete dentures as conventionally adjusted: anterior and posterior teeth presented bilateral contact in excentric positions
Canine GuidanceOcclusal schemeComplete dentures adjusted with "mutually protected articulation in which the vertical and horizontal overlap of the canine teeth disengage the posterior teeth in the excursive movements of the mandible" (The Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms. J. Prosthet. Dent., 94(1): 10-92)
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Denture Satisfaction30 days

Assessed by a questionnaire questionnaire based on the criteria used by Celebic and Knezovic-Zlataric (A comparison of patient's satisfaction between complete and partial removable denture wearers. J Dent. 2003;21:445-451) and used by Souza et al. (Validation of the Brazilian versions of two inventories for measuring oral health-related quality of life of edentulous subjects. Gerodontology. 2012;29:e88-95.).

Eight questions were answered according to a three-point scale (0=unsatisfactory; 1=regular; 2=good), whose sum provided a summary satisfaction score that ranged from 0 (the participant is completely dissatisfied with existing dentures) to 16 (maximum satisfaction).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Kinesiographic Parameters -- (1.c) Maximum Mouth Opening, Left-right Axis30 days

Mandibular physiologic movements and the pattern of maxillary denture movement during chewing, as recorded by a kinesiograph (K6-I Diagnostic System, Myotronics research Inc., Seatle, WA).

Specific measures involved: (1) Mouth opening; (2) Movement of the mandible from rest position to maximal occlusion (tooth clenching position); (3) Movement of the mandible during chewing; and (4) Movement of the upper denture base during chewing. Data from each measure was not combined into new variables, and collected in a single time point after each intervention.

All measures were taken according to the vertical, anteroposterior and left-right axes separately.
