Occlusal reconstruction using casting occlusal splint removable denture 3 years clinical observation
Objective:To analyze the reasons of the occlusal disorder after the loss of posterior teeth
trauma and serious wearing of teeth
and to observe the masticatory efficiency and the clinical changes of temporomandibular disorders after occlusal reconstruction using casting occlusal splint removable denture.Methods:The reasons of occlusal disorder were analyzed according to the case history and clinical examination of 73 patients.The casting occlusal splint removable denture was used to reconstruct the occlusal relationship.Masticatory efficiency was measured with the method of ATP particle capsule absorbing ultrasonic light before reconstruction
three months and five years after reconstruction.Results:Statistical analysis showed the significant difference before and after occlusal reconstruction with casting occlusal splint removable denture(P<0.01).The clinical symptoms of TMD were improved after reconstruction.Conclusion:Occlusal reconstruction using casting occlusal splint removable denture was effective to improve the function and movement.
