Analysis of Mandibular Movement after insertion of Fixed Partial Dentures using Cadiax Compact II®

Abstract

The aim of this clinical study was to analysis the mandibular movement in patients after insertion of fixed partial dentures using Cadiax Compact II and compares the Horizontal condylar angles and Bennette angles before and after insertion of posterior fixed partial denture.Material and methods: Mandibular movement of thirty two patients, sixteen males and sixteen female planed for posterior fixed partial dentures), had been recorded using Cadiax Compact II® for Horizontal Condylar Inclination and Bennette Angle. Three records had been obtained R1 before the abutments teeth preparations of the Fixed Partial Dentures, R2 after the cementation of the Fixed Partial Dentures and R3 after one month of the Fixed Partial Dentures cementation.Results: Statistical highly significant difference was found between R1&R2 for Bennette angles in both males and females, and significant difference in group R1&R3 for Horizontal condylar Inclination in females only. The other groups show no statistical significant difference.Conclusion: Within the limit of this clinical study, the insertion of fixed partial denture have no changing effect on the Horizontal Condylar inclination in males but in females have mild change. For Bennette angle there is highly significant change in both males and females immediately after the fixed partial denture cementation, but after one month this change disappeared.
