About

This study aimed to evaluate the oral stereognosis in completely edentulous patients with palatal tori. Oral stereognosis is tested using different test specimens in completely edentulous patients with maxillary tori and completely edentulous patients without maxillary tori.

Full description

Oral Stereognosis has been defined as appreciation of the form of objects that is explored intra-orally. In this study the oral stereognosis is determined by placing objects of various shapes in the patient's mouth and having the patient identify the correct form. Several studies has proved that oral stereognosis ability (OSA) can be used as a predictor for determining the ability of the patients with missing teeth to adapt to a new prosthesis placed in the patient's mouth.

Maxillary tori is a non-cancerous bony swelling found in palate and have high prevalence among Malaysian population. Whether OSA is higher or lower in patients with maxillary tori is not known.

34 participants in 2 patient groups

completely edentulous patients with maxillary tori

Experimental group

Description:

20 completely edentulous patients with maxillary tori will be recruited for the study. The oral stereognosis will be evaluated by oral stereognostic test which employs manipulation and identification 6 different test pieces when placed in the patients mouth.

Treatment:

Other: oral stereognostic test

completely edentulous patients without maxillary tori

Active Comparator group

Description:

20 completely edentulous patients without maxillary tori will serve as control group for the study. The oral stereognosis will be evaluated by oral stereognostic test which employs manipulation and identification 6 different test pieces when placed in the patients mouth.
