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.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that precise bite adjustments help maintain jawbone health in denture wearers.
