Oral physiology of elderly adults with natural teeth

The research activity focuses on the oral physiology of elderly adults with natural teeth, implant reconstructions or removable prostheses. Currently, we study the oral function in stroke patients where we investigate the mastication and neuro-muscular co-ordination. We equally try to verify the effect of stabilising a lower complete denture with dental implants on the cognitive state, chewing efficiency and oral health related quality of life in institutionalised edentulous patients with mild cognitive impairment. Other projects research the effect of a stereotype, decayed or ideal dental appearance on the judgement of character traits in young and old persons. A last research axis deals with the tactile sensitivity of natural and artificial teeth.
