Abstract:

Objective To explore the aesthetic effect of adsorptive denture restoration on completely edentulous patients and the impact on masticatory function and language function. Methods A study was conducted from June 2020 to June 2023 among 85 completely edentulous patients. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups. The routine group (n=43) underwent traditional complete denture restoration, while the observation group (n=42) underwent adsorptive denture restoration. Comparison was made between groups on the success rate of denture restoration, adaptation time, satisfaction with denture restoration, aesthetic effect, masticatory function, language function, retention stability, comfort level, the OHIP-14 scores before restoration and at 6 months after restoration, frequencies of follow-up visits and adjustments, and the incidence of complications. Results Compared with the routine group, the observation group had a significantly higher success rate of one-time denture wearing,significantly shorter adaptation time and significantly higher satisfaction with restoration, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). After restoration, height of the lower face (Sn-Gn) increased significantly, while the midface to lower face ratio (G-Sn/Sn-Gn) and nasolabial angle (Cm-Sn-Ls) decreased significantly in both groups. The changes of Sn-Gn, G-Sn/Sn-Gn and Cm-Sn-Ls in the observation group after restoration were significantly greater(P<0.05). Bite force, masticatory efficiency, language function score, retention stability score and wearing comfort level score of the observation group were significantly higher (P<0.05). After restoration, the scores for physiological function, psychological function and activities of daily living of the two groups decreased significantly. The observation group had significantly lower life quality scores (P<0.05). The frequencies of follow-up visits and adjustments and the total incidence of complications were significantly lower in observation group (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with traditional complete denture restoration, adsorptive denture restoration can achieve more obvious aesthetic effect on completely edentulous patients, and improve the basic function of dentures more significantly. In addition, adsorptive denture restoration has characteristics of shorter adaptation time, better prognosis and lower risk of complications.
