Influence of food consistency and dental extractions on the rat mandibular condyle: a morphological, histological and immunohistochemical study

The aim of our study was to evaluate through Finite Elements Analysis (FEA), the stress induced into the abutments and into a metallic bridge by an alimentary bolus of different consistency. Research was carried using the FEA on a model of the bridge with full crowns as retainers in the posterior teeth (34-36), obtained using a contact scanner and computer aided design (CAD) system. We surveyed the stress induced by different food consistency with elasticity modulus between 0 MPa and 60000 MPa. A 6MPa stress was induced by the bridge when the elasticity modulus was equal to 200 MPa. For the maximal value of the elasticity modulus, the stress was 13.68Mpa. The highest values of stresses are registered for the maximal values of the elasticity modulus.

Influence Of Food

This study used six toy Chihuahua dogs in relationship. They underwent four 8 week periods differing in type of food (dry, soft, dental diet) and preventive means of periodontitis (tooth-brushing and enzymatic chewing strips). The results showed nonsignificant influence of food consistency on dental plaque, calculus and gingivitis scores. Dental diet nonsignificantly decreased dental calculus deposition in comparison to common commercial food. The best results were achieved with toothbrushing. The enzymatic chewing strips significantly decreased dental plaque, calculus and gingivitis scores only on carnassial teeth. These results confirm that there are no absolute preventive measures of periodontitis.
