The purpose of this study is to evaluate the masticatory function of the complete denture wearers by examining the foods patients can eat with the dentures. A qustionnaire with listings of 35 foods was given to 39 patients who have been wearing newly made denture for 6 months and were asked to select the answer out of the following 5 categories. [figure] 1. Each answer was given a score (2, 1, 0). 35 foods were classified into 5 grades showing the difficulty by each total scores. 2. The "standard masticatory ability of complete denture wearers" was established as the diagnostic criteria by calculating the rate of food-taking ability in each grade. 3. Masticatory ability of each individual was shown as the "masticatory score". 4. Applying this qustionnaire to the alveoplasty case, the rate of food-taking ability and the masticatory score were correlated with masticatory ability and it was suggested that the qustioutnaire was useful for the evaluation of the masticatory function.
