Resumo
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of replacement of inadequate complete dentures on
salivary flow and taste perception in geriatric patients.
Materials and Methods: Thirty-three patients, 13 males and 20 females, with amean
age of 64.4 years were submitted to stimulated and unstimulated salivary flow rate
and salivary pH measurements, and sense of taste evaluation. Tests were performed
3 months before complete denture substitution and 3 weeks after denture insertion.
Results: The mean for unstimulated saliva (USS) was 2.1 ml before and 2.7 ml after
replacement (p = 0.003). The mean volume of stimulated saliva was 6.3 ml before
and 8.2 ml after replacement (p = 0.004). The pH mean of USS was 7.8 ± 0.44
before and 8.02 ± 0.41 after replacement (p = 0.005). No statistically significant
difference was determined in the sense of taste before and 3 weeks after complete
denture replacement.
Conclusions: The replacement of inadequate complete dentures increases saliva flow;
however, it does not improve taste perception.
