| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to examine the effect of prosthetic treatment on the salivary stress biomarker level of oral cancer patient. Sixteen patients were selected as subjects with partial maxillary bone defects. Prosthetic treatment with removable obturator was served to all subjects at Okayama University Hospital. The salivary Chromogranin A (CgA) were measured as salivary stress biomarkers during speech with prosthesis. To sixteen conventional denture wearers (for control), sampling of saliva was performed just before and after same speech intelligibility test. Speech intelligibility test score, visual analogue scale (VAS) satisfactory score and health scores were measured with and without prosthesis.
The increase of salivary CgA level caused by speech test with prosthesis showed significantly higher value than the value without prosthesis (p<0.016). No significant differences were observed between those of the control group.
The speech intelligibility test score and VAS satisfactory score showed the effectiveness of the prosthesis.
From these results, it was suggested that the patients after oral cancer surgery still have mental stress even if the speech ability was recovered with prosthesis.
