overdenture
Conclusions
A dentist should be able to control and detect
occlusal alterations produced by a non-equilibrated
rehabilitation using the most correct methods. The
method used in the present investigation allows
a static evaluation of occlusion and can detect
mandibular torsions and alterations between
the two sides that cannot be controlled only with
qualitative or purely morphological methods
(articulation paper).
The present surface EMG analysis of a static
(clenching) task showed that the analyzed
prostheses need stable dental contacts between
the opposing dental arches.
This functional condition could be protective
for full-mouth prosthetic resin complications over
implants. It should be underlined that the simplicity
of the current tests with a minimal effort could
provide useful clinical information for the day-today
clinical practice.
