Summary

This completed study looked at whether adjusting the bite of dentures using a digital device can affect jawbone density in people with no teeth. Sixteen adults aged 45 to 75 received dentures with a precise bite adjustment on one side. Researchers used X-ray analysis to compare bone density changes. The goal was to see if better bite balance helps preserve jawbone health.
