About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the effects of a mandibular implant-supported overdenture with a mandibular complete denture on electromyographic activity, brain activity, and cognitive performance in edentulous patients. Ten patients who are entirely edentulous and did not wear dentures will be chosen. To assess brain activity and cognitive function, electroencephalograms, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and electromyographic examinations of the temporalis and masseter muscles will be performed prior to complete denture construction, one and three months after complete denture construction, and one and three months after implant supported overdenture insertion, respectively.

Enrollment: 10 patients
