Sažetak
Objectives: To identify intraoral areas defined by thermal gradient and measure temperature differences of the mucosa under removable overdentures after performing chewing tasks with and without mini dental implant (MDI) loading. Methods: Each of 20 completely edentulous patients received 4 MDI in the mandible. Implants were immediately loaded. Patients were fully adapted to their dentures (3-12 months of wearing after all adjustments finished). Recordings with thermal camera were made: 1. Referent temperature was obtained at resting (dentures in mouth 15 minutes without occlusal contacts), 2. Immediately after 10 minutes of cotton-roll chewing task, and 3. After chewing task till the temperature dropped to reference value. The same procedure was repeated with same overdentures, but after matrices (retention caps) had been removed and the respective dentures turned into mucosa- borne dentures. Results: Temperature increased significantly after chewing task and remained almost constant throughout the first minute after denture removal. It took almost 3 minutes to return to the reference temperature. With mucosa borne overdentures (matrices removed) temperature increased to 37.7°C±1.2°C, while with MDI loaded overdentures (matrices mounted) temperature increased to 36.8°C±0.9° C. The area close to MDIs did not heat up with matrices mounted. In both cases the highest temperature was recorded in posterior denture-borne areas. It took a bit longer (p<0.05) till the temperature dropped down to the reference value with mucosa-borne overdenture (matrices removed). Conclusion: The temperature of the mucosa under dentures increased less after chewing tasks when MDIs were loaded.
