| Abstract: | BackgroundTo compare the masticatory performance in complete denture patients before and after application of soft liner and to assess the effect of aging of soft liner on masticatory performance at different intervals of time.MethodsA total of 30 complete denture wearers between age of 64 and 80 years, were selected from both the sex (20 men, 10 women). This study evaluated the effect of before and after application of chair-side soft liner on masticatory performance of complete denture wearers by using raw carrots and roasted peanut as the test food. This study further evaluated the cushioning effect of chair-side soft liner material at the interval period of 1week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 16 weeks.ResultsThere were significant differences in masticatory performance without soft liner as compared to with soft liner at different intervals of time. The performance was found to be significantly higher for raw carrot as compared to roasted peanut (p < 0.001). For both the materials peak performance was recorded at 4th week.ConclusionThe use of soft liner helps in increasing the masticatory performance among complete denture wearers. |
