METHODS: The dental prosthesis was fabricated with autopolymerized acrylic resin and artificial teeth, retained by clasps made of orthodontic wires. Bite force was determined with a pressurized tube transducer connected to a sensor element. The facial proportions were evaluated on photographs and body variables determined. All evaluations were performed before, 6 months after, and 1 year after the rehabilitation. RESULTS: No statistical significant difference between genders was found. There was a significant increase in bite force from the first to the second evaluation (302+/-61 N) and (345+/-43 N), but not in the third evaluation (360+/-47 N). Body weight and height increased during the follow-up period. Facial proportions did not correlate with bite force, whereas body height correlated with bite force at the six-month evaluation (r=0.521; P =.007), with a low adjust determination coefficient (24.01%). CONCLUSION: The findings showed that the removable partial dental prosthesis increased the bite force in the first 6 months. This suggested that the prosthesis was adequate to replace the missing posterior primary teeth, with the possibility of improving the masticatory system function. ------>tmu_sno=None ------>sno=21158 ------>authors2=En-Sheng Keh ------>authors3= ------>authors4= ------>authors5= ------>authors6= ------>authors6_c= ------>authors=Takeshi Tsunekuni ------>delete_flag=0 ------>SCI_JNo=None ------>authors2_c= ------>publish_area=1 ------>updateTitle=A 1-year intraindividual evaluation of maximum bite force in children wearing a removable partial dental prosthesis. ------>language=2 ------>check_flag=None ------>submit_date=None ------>country=NULL ------>no= ------>patent_SDate=None ------>update_bywho=None ------>publish_year=2009 ------>submit_flag=None ------>publish_month=2 |
