[Correction of malmaxillomandibular relation with therapeutic complete denture].
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of therapeutic complete denture in rectifying malmaxillomandibular relation of complete.


METHODS
11 patients were treated with therapeutic complete denture, of which the maxillary premolars and molars were artificial ceramic teeth and mandibular premolar and molar region was just like a splint. The changes before and after the treatment were recorded by mandibular kinesiograph(MKG). The effect was evaluated by self-control comparison.


RESULTS
After rectifying, the concentration of the closing locus end position evidently increased, the symmetry of mandible motion significantly improved, CRO-ICO three-dimensional slide range decreased and moreover, the teeth had even and stable contact during sliding.


CONCLUSIONS
The temporary therapeutic complete denture had a fair effect in rectifying malmaxil-lomandibular relation of edentulous patients.
