In a treatment of dysphagia, a palatal plate has been reported to work effectively in support of mastication as a lingual contact assistance bed. The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of applying a palatal plate on each steps of mastication, such as food crushing, flowing and swallowing food bolus. Methods: We prepared two kinds of palatal plate, which were 0.5 mm and 3 mm in thickness, and examined influence for masticatory function. Peanuts, which were chewed with or without wearing palatal plate, were gathered separately from the buccal side and lingual side after 5, 10 and 20 chewing strokes, and then the amount and the degree of crushing of each peanut was measured. Individual quantity of salivation of six candidates was measured. Results: The candidates were able to be classified into two groups by quantity of salivation. The amount of peanuts on the lingual side was significantly higher in wearing palatal plate and this tendency was enhanced in a group with much salivary quantity. Conclusions: Applying a palatal plate had the advantage to improve the ability to transport crushing food. Therefore, a palatal plate plays an important role not only as major connector of denture but also food transportation.}, pages = {123--128}, title = {口蓋床装着が口腔内の食塊移送能力に及ぼす影響}, volume = {39}, year = {2009} }
