保留残冠根的义齿修复

以往在义齿修复时,常把病人口内的残冠、残根拔除后,再作义齿修复。这样在拔牙创口愈合的同时,其牙槽骨就有不同程度的吸收。近年来,我在临床中,把根管治疗后的残冠、根,通过铸造合桩,烤瓷冠等方工恢复牙冠,或将残冠根在牙根表面制作金属顶盖置放在基托内。使义齿修复达到美观,咀嚼效能提高。 一、临床资料     

整体铸造支架式可摘局部义齿添加人工牙的临床修理效果

目的：探讨整体铸造支架式可摘局部义齿添加人工牙的修理体会。方法：对240例佩戴整体铸造支架式可摘局部义齿的患者进行义齿添加人工牙修理,比较修理前后视觉模拟（VAS）评分、咀嚼功能及1年后人工牙的磨耗程度。结果：修复后VAS评分明显低于修复前,两者比较差异有统计学意义（P〈0.05）,但牙槽骨吸收距离未见明显差异（P〉0.05）。经过修复后义齿的固位稳定及咀嚼情况较修复前明显好转,在随访1年后,人工牙大多有轻到中度的磨耗,磨耗后出现23例颌位垂直距离缩短及2例下颌前移及偏移。结论：设计合理的支架连接体,并且尽量作添加人工牙和卡环的修理,可以延长义齿的使用寿命。     

乳杆菌DM9811代谢产物脂肪酸组分对义齿性口炎的临床应用研究

目的从口腔菌群平衡的角度观察乳杆菌DM9811代谢产物脂肪酸组分对义齿性口炎患者口腔细菌的影响。方法采取自身前后对照,24例义齿性口炎患者给予乳杆菌DM9811代谢产物脂肪酸组分制成的含漱液,每次20 ml,每日3次漱口。分别于用药前,用药后第7天、14天、28天以及停药后第60天采集标本培养,记录活菌数。结果24例患者中18例为有效病例。用药后7 d口腔白假丝酵母菌数量明显降低,口腔链球菌数量升高,较治疗前差异均有显著性（P〈0.01）,乳杆菌治疗前后差异无显著性（P〉0.05）;用药14 d、28 d及停药后60 d时,口腔内白假丝酵母菌、口腔链球菌、乳杆菌数量较7 d时差异均无显著性（P〉0.05）。结论乳杆菌DM9811代谢产物脂肪酸组分治疗义齿性口炎7 d时致病菌和优势菌即可达到相对平衡。乳杆菌DM9811代谢产物脂肪酸组分治疗义齿性口炎不会造成口腔菌群的失衡。

隐形义齿对基牙龈沟内菌群的影响

目的将隐形义齿与传统卡环固位式可摘局部义齿进行对比,探寻隐形义齿对基牙龈沟内菌群的影响,从而指导活动义齿的选择和设计。方法下颌第一磨牙缺失的患者随机分成3组。分别戴用弯制卡环式可摘局部义齿、铸造卡环式可摘局部义齿和隐形义齿。定时对基牙龈沟进行取样并行细菌培养,并统计细菌总量、专性厌氧菌检出率以及G-菌检出率。结果戴牙后同期相比,隐形义齿组与传统卡环固位式可摘局部义齿相比,基牙龈沟内细菌总量更大,专性厌氧菌检出率及G-菌检出率更高,差异具有统计学意义。结论上述研究结果说明:相较于传统卡环固位式可摘局部义齿,隐形义齿对基牙龈沟内菌群的影响更大。对于牙周状况不佳的患者应当谨慎使用隐形义齿作为修复方式。     

义齿粘附剂在口腔修复中的应用

随着全球人口老龄化趋势的不断加剧,老年人群口腔疾病的发病率也随之上升。以我国为例,每年因牙列缺损或牙列缺失而接受治疗的患者数量不断增加。无论何种修复体,义齿的固位和稳定一直是口腔医生和患者评价修复体成功与否的最直观的标准。如何提高义齿的固位和稳定是口腔专业工作者长期关注并研究的主题。义齿的固位与稳定可以通过多种方式进行强化。义齿粘附剂(DA)是用来辅助粘膜支持式义齿(包括全口义齿)固位的方法之一。本文通过阐述义齿粘附剂提高义齿固位与稳定的机理,探讨不同类型的义齿粘附剂对口腔环境的影响,对义齿粘附剂在口腔修复学科应用的现状及发展作一综述,以利于DA的使用与推广。

前外侧入路治疗髋关节置换术患者的疗效及对血清CRP, IL-6,D-二聚体水平的影响分析

目的:探讨前外侧入路治疗髋关节置换术患者的疗效及对血清C-反应蛋白(CRP)、白介素-6(IL-6)、D-二聚体水平的影响。方法:选择2013年2月~2015年1月经由我院诊治的102名人工髋关节置换术患者,均征求患者的意愿分为观察组和对照组。对照组54例通过常规的入路方式进行髋关节置换术,观察组48例采用前外侧入路方式进行髋关节置换术。手术前后比较两组患者的血清CRP、IL-6和D-二聚体水平,并通过随访比较两组患者的疗效。结果:治疗后,观察组患者的总有效率显著高于对照组(P0.05),两组患者的血清CRP、IL-6及D-二聚体在手术后12 h时升高,在7 d和14 d时,逐渐下降。观察组患者血清CRP、IL-6及D-二聚体水平在术后12 h、7 d和14 d均明显低于对照组(P0.05)。结论:前外侧入路对髋关节置换术患者的临床疗效较常规入路方式更显著,且可有效降低血清CRP、IL-6和D-二聚体水平,更加有利于患者的术后恢复。     

可摘局部义齿戴入后义齿区微生态的改变

可摘局部义齿是口腔活动修复中运用最久最为广泛的一种修复方式,其通过卡环的固位,基托的稳定,连接体的连接,可以使人工牙在患者缺牙间隙发挥相应的咀嚼功能。但是,可摘局部义齿作为一个外源性的异物戴入患者口内后,由于其理化性质与口腔正常环境差别极大,并且占据了口腔中的天然间隙,势必会导致口腔内环境的相应改变。口腔微生物依附于口腔内环境,与宿主共生。当口腔内环境变化时,口腔微生态也会产生相关的变化。研究可摘局部义齿戴入后口腔内微生态的变化可以使我们更好地评估可摘局部义齿的适应证,并指导我们新义齿的设计及开发方向。目前相关研究已相当充分,本文就可摘局部义齿戴入后,口腔微生态的变化作一简单综述。

目的：种植支持的覆盖义齿是针对下颌骨后牙区没有足够骨量的病人的一种适当的治疗方案。LOCATOR是近年来一种新型改良的种植体附着系统。本研究在病人佩戴LOCATOR附着系统支持的下颌种植覆盖义齿后,通过比较不同种植体数量对咀嚼效率的影响,以期用最小的成本达到较好的临床效果。方法：19名下颌无牙颌患者中,10名植入2枚种植体,9名植入3枚种植体。三月后行LOCATOR附着系统支持的种植覆盖义齿修复,并计算咀嚼效率增加量。结果：通过SPSS20．0软件进行统计分析,采用95％可信区间,α=0．05,对两组覆盖义齿咀嚼效率的增加量进行t检验：P〉0．05,两组之间咀嚼效率的增加量无显著性差异。针对下颌LOCATOR种植覆盖义齿,植入两枚种植体和三枚种植体提升的咀嚼效率并无统计学差异。结论：针对LOCATOR系统支持的下颌种植覆盖义齿,两枚种植体既能有效地提高咀嚼效率。     

Evaluation of satisfaction with masticatory efficiency of new conventional complete dentures in edentulous patients--a survey

doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2012.00634.x Evaluation of satisfaction with Masticatory efficiency of new conventional complete dentures in edentulous patients. A survey Background: Knowing how patients really feel after treatment is, very often, as relevant as the success rate of the conventional dentures and it can even be the measurement of masticatory function. Aim and objectives: This questionnaire survey aimed to analyse the satisfaction level and masticatory efficiency of patients treated with conventional complete dentures. Design and setting: Thirty edentulous patients were considered in the study. Satisfaction level and masticatory efficiency were analysed based on specific questionnaires for edentulous patients and by a likert rating scale from 0 to 5, at three moments: Prior to treatment (edentulous period), after the insertion of the new dentures and at 30–45 days follow‐up. Materials and methods: Thirty patients including 12 male and 18 female patients (mean age 65 years), who voluntarily came for the services. T‐test was applied at three different levels. Results: The rehabilitation with conventional complete dentures produced an improvement (p < 0.05) in satisfaction level and masticatory efficiency. Conclusion: Thus, those patients who were edentulous previously and dissatisfied with their masticatory ability showed improvement after receiving a new set of conventional complete dentures.     

The effect of osteoporosis on residual ridge resorption and masticatory performance in denture wearers

doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2011.00610.x The effect of osteoporosis on residual ridge resorption and masticatory performance in denture wearers Aim: To compare masticatory performance, masticatory efficiency and residual ridge resorption (RRR) in osteoporotic and non‐osteoporotic edentulous subjects after rehabilitation with complete dentures. Method: Thirty subjects fulfilling the inclusion criteria were enrolled from the patients visiting the Department of Prosthodontics for complete denture fabrication. Two groups consisting of control subjects (group I; N = 15) and osteoporotic subjects (group II; N = 15) were formed. Complete dentures satisfying certain criteria were fabricated for both groups. Masticatory performance and efficiency were measured 6 months after denture insertion. Areal measurements were taken on lateral cephalograms before and 6 months after denture fabrication. The data were then computed to analyse differences between groups I and II using SPSS statistical software version 15.0. Results: Six months after denture fabrication, the masticatory performance and efficiency were significantly higher (p < 0.001) for group I, with a significant decrease in maxillary and mandibular sagittal area seen in both groups. The rate of bone loss was more in group II compared with group I. Conclusion: Greater masticatory function was demonstrated by the non‐osteoporotic group, and the rate of RRR was more in the osteoporotic group compared with the normal group. In this pilot study, osteoporosis leads to greater RRR, decreased masticatory performance and efficiency in edentulous subjects 6 months after denture insertion. Screening for osteoporosis is suggested as a routine procedure for all edentulous subjects undergoing rehabilitation. Recall check‐ups for osteoporotic patients should be more frequent, and these patients may require more frequent denture remakes.     

下颌起排法全口排牙临床效果研究

目的:研究通过比较不同的排牙方式制作的全口义齿对咀嚼次数、咀嚼效率以及患者的主观感受的影响。方法:78例无牙颌患者按照牙槽嵴高度分为正常组和低平组,正常组有患者32例,低平组有患者46例,每组分别戴用上颌起排法和下颌起排法制作的全口义齿,比较咀嚼次数、咀嚼效率和满意度的差别。结果:在戴用上颌起排法制作的全口义齿时,正常组的咀嚼次数高于低平组,差异具有统计学意义(t=3.60,P0.05);戴用下颌起排法制作的全口义齿后,低平组的咀嚼次数高于采用上颌起排法的全口义齿,差异具有统计学意义(t=4.41,P0.05);在戴用上颌起排法制作的全口义齿中,正常组的咀嚼效率高于低平组,差异具有统计学意义(t=5.72,P0.05);而在戴用下颌起排法制作的全口义齿后,低平组的咀嚼效率高于采用上颌起排法的全口义齿,差异具有统计学意义(t=7.16,P0.05)。正常组认为使用下颌起排法制作全口义齿咀嚼能力、稳固感好于上颌起排法,差异均具有统计学意义(P0.05);低平组认为使用下颌起排法制作全口义齿咀嚼能力、稳固感和舒适感好于上颌起排法,差异均具有统计学意义(P0.05)。结论:对于牙槽嵴低平无牙颌患者使用下颌起排法制作的全口义齿,能够有效地增强咀嚼效率,提高义齿的稳定性。     

Electromyographic evaluation of masseter and anterior temporalis muscles in rest position of edentulous patients with temporomandibular disorders, before and after using complete dentures with sliding plates

Objectives: This study was performed with the purpose of investigating electromyographic (EMG) activity of the anterior temporalis and masseter muscles in edentulous individuals with temporomandibular disorder (TMD), before and after using sliding plates on complete dentures in the mandibular rest position. Background: Edentulous patients may present TMD, which is characterised by pain in temporomandibular joints, masticatory and neck muscles, uncoordinated and limited mandible movements, joint sounds and an altered occlusal relationship. It is imperative to offer treatment in order to re‐establish stomatognathic system structures before submitting the individual to any definitive restorative treatment. Materials and methods: The patients were edentulous for at least 10 years. EMG recordings were made before the insertion of the dentures (0 months) and also after using the sliding plates at the fourth month, 9th month and 12th month, using computerised electromyography K6‐I/ EMG Light Channel Surface. EMG evaluations of the muscles were performed under the following clinical conditions: rest position with dentures (R1), rest position without dentures (R2), rest position with dentures post‐activity (chewing) (R3), rest position without dentures post‐activity (chewing) (R4). Results: All patients obtained remission of muscular fatigue and reduced pain in stomatognathic system structures. Temporalis muscle showed significant increase in EMG activity compared with initial values (p < 0.01). Masseter muscles showed significantly lower mean values (p < 0.01) compared with initial values. Conclusion: The sliding plates allowed the process of neuromuscular deprogramming, contributing to muscular balance of the masticatory system, and are therefore indicated to be used before the fabrication of definitive complete dentures in patients with TMD.     

The influence of mandibular implant-retained overdentures in masticatory efficiency

doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2011.00539.x The influence of mandibular implant‐retained overdentures in masticatory efficiency Objective: To evaluate the masticatory efficiency of patients rehabilitated with conventional dentures (CDs) or implant‐retained mandibular overdentures. Background: Despite the evident benefits of implants on mastication as assessed by subjective patient‐based outcomes, the extent of implant overdenture treatment effect on food comminution is not well established. Materials and methods: A randomised clinical trial was carried out with 29 completely edentulous patients divided into two groups. The first group was rehabilitated with a mandibular overdenture retained by two splinted implants with bar‐clip system, while the second group was rehabilitated with a mandibular CD. Both groups also were rehabilitated with maxillary CDs. Masticatory efficiency and patient satisfaction were assessed 3 months after denture insertion. Masticatory efficiency was evaluated through the colorimetric method with the beads as the artificial test‐food. Comparisons for masticatory efficiency and patient satisfaction were performed using Student’s t‐test (α = 0.05). Results: No significant statistical difference was found for masticatory efficiency (p = 0.198). Patient overall satisfaction was significantly higher for the mandibular overdenture (p < 0.001). In addition, mandibular overdenture patients were significantly more satisfied with chewing experience (p < 0.05) and retention of the lower denture (p < 0.005). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that mandibular overdenture significantly improves chewing experience, although limited effect on masticatory efficiency has been observed.     

The effect of different attachment systems with implant‐retained overdentures on maximum bite force and EMG

doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2010.00389.x The effect of different attachment systems with implant‐retained overdentures on maximum bite force and EMG Objective: To compare the effect of different attachment systems with implant‐retained overdentures on maximum bite force and muscle activity using electromyography (EMG). Background: Denture retention and stability is of considerable interest in prosthetic dentistry. Materials and methods: Thirty‐five patients were examined: 15 edentulous patients treated with mandibular implant‐retained overdentures (MIRO) and maxillary dentures (MCD) (two implant‐ball attachment) (BC); 10 edentulous patients treated with MIRO and MCD (four implants‐bar attachments) (BRC); 10 patients with edentulous mandibular treated with MIRO and maxillary fixed partial dentures (MFPD) (two implant‐ball attachments) (BF). Before implant placement all patients received new dentures. After using these dentures for 3 months the maximum bite force and electrical activity of masseter muscle were measured. Two or four implants were then inserted into the intraforaminal region. After osseointegration periods, patients were treated with MIRO which duplicated their dentures and after three months the measurements were repeated. The data were collected and statistically analysed. Results: Muscle activity and chewing ability increased in the second period of measurements. Also chewing time was significantly decreased at the first measurements. The highest muscle activity was observed in the group of patients treated with group BF. Conclusion: The EMG values of the masseter muscle significantly increased when an implant attachments was used in the overdenture.     

The masticatory handicap of wearing removable dentures in elderly men

Objective: This study aimed at describing the masticatory handicap of wearing removable dentures measured by some masticatory tests and the intake of hard and soft foods. Materials and methods: The subjects were participants in a comprehensive health examination of 67–68‐year‐old men living in Malmö, Sweden. Four hundred eighty‐three men took part in a clinical oral examination which recorded the number of teeth and removable dentures. One hundred and one had complete dentures in both jaws and 131 had removable partial dentures in different combinations. Masticatory tests used almonds to record the number of stokes to the first swallow, and two‐coloured chewing gums for recording bolus kneading and shaping. A nutritionist paid a home visit to assess dietary habits including the consumption of hard and soft foods. The data could be split into groups of different tooth and denture situations which were large enough to enable statistical analysis to be carried out. The results of a regression analysis of the group with different numbers of natural teeth (NT) and no removable dentures could be used as a reference for correlation with the masticatory capacity of removable denture wearers. Results: Number of strokes to the first swallow revealed no masticatory limitations of wearing removable dentures, while chewing gum colour‐mixing and shaping revealed more differentiated impairments equivalent to the function of five to 16 teeth in a remaining natural dentition. Hard food intake for the removable denture groups was comparable to 17–19 NT. Soft food intake was not influenced by denture wearing. In a ranking of oral conditions, those with more than 24 NT had the highest test values for all tests, and those with complete sets of dentures the lowest except for the number of strokes to the first swallow of an almond. Conclusion: Removable denture wearing can be regarded as a handicap when measured with objective masticatory tests using chewing gum and the intake of hard foods. The number of chewing strokes to the first swallow of an almond and the intake of soft foods is not affected by the wearing of removable dentures.     

A study to compare the oral health impact profile and satisfaction before and after having replacement complete dentures in England and Scotland

Objective: To assess the oral health impact profile (OHIP) on edentulous subjects in Scotland and England who needed to have their dentures replaced, and to determine whether any change in the subjects’ assessment of their original and replacement dentures impacted on oral health related quality of life parameters. Background: The loss of all teeth may impact on functional activities. The OHIP is an instrument used to measure subjects’ perception of the social impact of oral disorders on their well being. Methods: A total of 58 edentulous subjects were studied. Subjects completed the OHIP‐14 questionnaires before and after being provided with a set of replacement complete dentures. They also assessed specific features of the upper and lower dentures. Responses were recorded on a Likert scale. Results: For many subjects, the responses in the before treatment questionnaires were at the lower end of the Likert scale, indicating that there were no major impacts on oral health related quality of life parameters. There were significant improvements in four of the 14 OHIP parameters assessed after treatment. With the new dentures, subjects expressed improved satisfaction, particularly for the lower prosthesis. There were no major differences between the responses of the subjects in Scotland and England. Conclusion: For this group of edentulous subjects, although they may need dentures to be replaced after a period of wear, this does not necessarily have significant social impacts. For this reason the provision of new dentures did not result in major changes to the OHIP.     

Use of a mandibular advancement device in patients with congestive heart failure and sleep apnoea

Objective: To evaluate the practical use of the mandibular advancement device (MAD) for treatment of sleep apnoea (SA) in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) over 1 year. Subjects: Twenty‐five patients aged 66 ± 8 years (mean ± SD) met the inclusion criteria and were included in the study. Design: In a prospective, clinical trial, the apnoea‐hypopnoea index (AHI), a measure of SA, was determined with a portable device. Failure to enter treatment and compliance, adverse events and signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) were examined before intervention and 4–6 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year after intervention. Results: Six patients had removable dentures of whom four had complete dentures. Before treatment, eight patients reported minor symptoms of TMD. The AHI fell from 19.3 ± 12.1 to 11.8 ± 9.5 (p = 0.004) with use of the device. In most patients, use of the MAD had no severe effects on the signs and symptoms of TMD. Adverse events such as pain in the temporomandibular joints, soreness in the teeth, and tiredness in the jaws were reported by 10 patients. Dental complications were observed in two patients. Sixty‐four per cent of the patients were still using the MAD at the 1‐year follow‐up. Conclusions: Both the general and oral health of CHF patients were important in treatment with a MAD. The MAD therapy had no severe effect on the masticatory system and edentulous patients could be treated.
