Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

completely edentulous patients with maxillary tori

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.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type OTHER

Six test pieces were selected from the 20 shapes of test pieces from National Institute of Dental Research. The test pieces comprises of 6 shaped forms which include circle, plus, square, rectangular, triangle and toroid shaped. A 2mm stainless steel wire was bent forming the test piece shape following the standard dimensions (13mm length and 2mm thickness)as described by National Institute of Dental Research to serve as the test pieces mould. Using the six test piece moulds, light cured acrylic resin test samples were fabricated. The test samples were trimmed and polished to meet the standardized measurements. A total of 240 test sample (6 samples for each patient) for 20 completely edentulous patients with maxillary tori and 20 completely edentulous patients without tori were made for the study. The test pieces were attached to dental floss to prevent any accidentally aspiration during the study.

completely edentulous patients without maxillary tori

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.
