Clinical and Biochemical Characteristics of Adaptation in Patients with Complete Edentulism to Removable Plate Dentures

Complete edentulism is still considered one of the key problems in orthopedic dentistry, as it leads to impaired chewing efficiency, deterioration of aesthetics, and reduced overall quality of life in patients, especially elderly ones. Prosthetic treatment in the absence of teeth is accompanied by additional load on prosthetic bed tissues, which manifests as activation of lipid peroxidation (LPO) processes and changes in the functioning of the antioxidant system (AOS).

Thus, biochemical analysis of oral fluid can serve as an objective criterion for evaluating patient adaptation to removable prostheses and be used to optimize orthopedic treatment and prevent possible complications.
