Abstract
This pilot study was to find the influence of complete denture on the brain activity and cognitive function of edentulous patients measured through Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals.
The study recruited 20 patients aged from 50 to 60 years requiring complete dentures with inclusion and exclusion criteria. The brain function and cognitive function were analyzed with a mental state questionnaire and a 15-minute analysis of power spectral density of EEG alpha waves. The analysis included edentulous phase and post denture insertion adaptive phase, each done before and after chewing. The results obtained were statistically evaluated.
Power Spectral Density (PSD) values increased from edentulous phase to post denture insertion adaption phase. The data were grouped as edentulous phase before chewing (EEG p1-0.0064), edentulous phase after chewing (EEG p2-0.0073), post denture insertion adaptive phase before chewing (EEG p3-0.0077), and post denture insertion adaptive phase after chewing (EEG p4-0.0096). The acquired values were statistically analyzed using paired t-test, which showed statistically significant results (
This pilot study showed functional improvement in brain function of edentulous patients with complete dentures rehabilitation.

The patients of age group between 50 and 60 years were informed of the procedure and their consents were obtained (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Fig. 1</xref>). The patients selected were edentulous for a year and they were treated with complete denture for the first time. Patients participated in this study had class 1 ridges and adequate interarch spaces. A comprehensive examination excluded patients with symptoms of temporomandibular disorders, xerostomia, orofacial motor disorders, severe oral manifestations of systemic diseases, and psychological or psychiatric conditions that could influence their response to treatment.</p><p>The electroencephalogram (EEG) signals were used to check the brain activity.<xref rid="B12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref> Patients were instructed to take adequate sleep the night before and were restricted from consuming caffeine at least eight hours before the EEG analysis. The electrode placement for EEG was done in accordance to the international federation in electroencephalography and clinical neurophysiology as a 10-20 electrode placement system.<xref rid="B13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref><xref rid="B14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref> EEG recordings were obtained in two settings: before chewing paraffin gum (Saliva-Check kit, GC Corporation, Japan) and after three minutes of chewing gum with one-minute resting intervals between each EEG recording. The recordings were made for the total of fifteen minutes. The signals were sampled at 256 samples per second with 16-bit resolution and with fifteen minutes of digitized signal duration. This data was saved to be analyzed and compared with the EEG records two months after denture placement (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Fig. 2</xref>, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Fig. 3</xref> and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Fig. 4</xref>).</p><p>Complete dentures were fabricated with balanced occlusion for all the patients with maximized comfort. After two months of denture usage, the EEG recordings made before and after chewing were similar to pre-treatment EEG results. Both the pre-treatment and post-treatment EEG data were analyzed for differences in power spectral density (PSD) with gum chewing.</p><p>The algorithm was tested using a single channel (C<sub>3</sub>-P<sub>3</sub>). The alpha waves of the greatest amplitude were recorded. The data was pre-processed by computing average spectrum with 50% overlap in the epoch signal. EEG signal baseline wanders were viewed in the LAB VIEW platform (National Instrument, India). The recordings were corrected for artifacts and the signal amplitude was quantified to micro-volts.<xref rid="B15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref> A digital low pass finite element filter (FIR) filtered the EEG signal by Hamming window technique. The order of the filter was 40 and the cut off frequency was 32 Hz. Flatness without a ripple in the pass band was desirable in the analysis of EEG signals. The filtered EEG segments were chosen for analysis.</p><p>Averaged spectrum and power measure were calculated. The power spectrum of the signal was computed using Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT).

This transmission was unique and different from the control mechanisms involved in the movements of the arms and legs. Otsuka et al.<xref rid="B16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref> proved the relationship between malocclusion and the limbic circuits. Narita et al.<xref rid="B17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref> and Hirano et al.<xref rid="B18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref> estimated that gum chewing was more effective in stimulating brain activity than other treatments. Yamazaki et al.<xref rid="B19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref> demonstrated that, in both mature and old animals, the spatial memory declined as the number of hippocampal neurons decreased from impairment in hippocampal function due to early tooth loss. Hippocampal dysfunction caused impairment in episodic memory such as learning new information and retrieving information.<xref rid="B20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref> Like hippocampus, other brain areas, such as the prefrontal cortex (PFC), the striatum, and the cerebellum, play an important role in executive abilities like performing multiple tasks simultaneously, set-shifting, and inhibition. These areas are sensitive to ageing.<xref rid="B21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref><xref rid="B22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref> Morokuma<xref rid="B23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref> and Klimesch<xref rid="B24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref> showed a positive relationship between alpha waves and cognitive performance as well as the speed of processing information. With this concept, brain activity was evaluated by studying power spectral density of alpha waves in edentulous patients before and after denture insertion. PSD values were calculated and a comparison was made for the EEG taken in two phases - edentulous phase and post denture insertion adaptive phase - before and after chewing paraffin gum.</p><p>The power spectral density of alpha waves increased in both edentulous phase and post denture adaptive phase after chewing. The masticatory stimulation travels from the masticatory muscles to the hypothalamus via trigeminal nerve. This mechanism is believed to involve a wide area of the brain and gum chewing is thought to be effective in stimulating the brain activity.<xref rid="B25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref> The study result did not synchronize with the studies performed by Masumoto et al.,<xref rid="B26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref> which stated no significant differences in EEG frequencies between a control and post gum condition. Masumoto et al.<xref rid="B27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref> contradicted their earlier study with the findings indicating that chewing flavorless and odorless gum base led to increased alpha and theta activity.</p><p>Comparison of PSD values before chewing between edentulous phase and post denture insertion adaption phase showed that post denture insertion adaptive phase PSD value increased and influenced the brain function. The results concluded that dentures showed eminent improvement in brain function.</p><p>The limitation of this study is that the brain function can potentially be affected by other factors involving the subject, including his/her living environment, hospital visits, conversations with the attending physician, or the treatment administered. There is also a concern over the potential effect of circadian variability of EEG on the measurement sequence of brain function. These factors have to be standardized in future studies.</p></sec><sec sec-type="conclusions"><title>CONCLUSION</title><p>Within the limitations of the study, it can be concluded that the brain activity of edentulous patients improved with mastication and denture reconstruction.</p></sec></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1</label><element-citation
