Masticatory Performance Evaluation

NCT06581614 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Summary

The purpose of this experiment is to combine research on masticatory efficiency with the reconstructive expertise of the prosthodontics clinic, focusing on implant-supported fixed dentures as the contemporary gold standard for reconstruction. The goal is to investigate the impact of such prosthetic reconstructions on masticatory efficiency. We will invite patients who have lost their second molar and have undergone single-implant-supported fixed denture reconstruction at the Prosthodontics Department of National Taiwan University Hospital to participate in masticatory function tests. The tests will use a new and relatively simple chewing gum, with the aim of enhancing patients\' masticatory function through implant reconstruction in a clinical setting, thereby improving patient well-being and understanding of dental implants. On the research side, the study aims to provide guidance for strategies in the reconstruction of masticatory function.
