Research Abstract |
Occlusal factors such as contact area and points including that of artificial teeth of the maxillofacial prostheses closely related with masticatory performance in the maxillofacial patients with boney defects. Therefore, the objective parameter evaluated with gummy jelly, measurements of occlusal condition and the masticatory score would be indexes of masticatory performance in maxillofacial rehabilitation.
