Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of therapeutic complete denture in rectifying malmaxillomandibular relation of complete. METHODS: 11 patients were treated with therapeutic complete denture, of which the maxillary premolars and molars were artificial ceramic teeth and mandibular premolar and molar region was just like a splint. The changes before and after the treatment were recorded by mandibular kinesiograph(MKG). The effect was evaluated by self-control comparison. RESULTS: After rectifying, the concentration of the closing locus end position evidently increased, the symmetry of mandible motion significantly improved, CRO-ICO three-dimensional slide range decreased and moreover, the teeth had even and stable contact during sliding. CONCLUSION: The temporary therapeutic complete denture had a fair effect in rectifying malmaxil-lomandibular relation of edentulous patients.
