title: [A comparative study of masticatory efficiency between partial denture wearers having one remaining tooth and complete denture wears]
abstract: Masticatory efficiency is one of the important indexes of judging masticatory function after dentures restored.The aim of this study was to measure and analyze masticatory efficiency of partial dentur wearers having one tooth left and complete denture wearers,by using a method of measuring msticatory crushed granules.The results showed that the crushed granules for partial denture wearers with one remaining tooth were smaller than that for complete ones.Therefore,partial dentures with a few remaining teeth were better than complete ones on effects.
