Description
Summary:Objective This study aimed to measure modifications of mastication after immediate loading full-arch prosthesis (ILFAP) rehabilitation. Materials and method Fourteen patients were observed before and 6 months after ILFAP rehabilitation when masticating two natural, standardized foods (peanut and carrot) and three model foods with increasing hardness. The granulometry of the expectorated boluses from carrot and peanuts was characterized by median particle size (D50), determined at the natural point of swallowing. Chewing time (CT), number of chewing cycles (CC), and chewing frequency (CF) were video recorded. A self-assessment questionnaire for oral health-related quality of life [Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI)] was also used. Results After ILFAP rehabilitation, the mean D50 values for carrot and peanuts were smaller [Repeated Model Procedures (RMP), F  = 41, p
