RESUMO

Abstract:In aging process, the tooth loss generates the need to use a dental prosthesis. Specific alterations in mastication process of denture-users can be considered a problem not only in relation to the morphofunctional structures modification, but also in personal satisfaction associated to chewing and its functionality. The proposal of this review is to compile and analyze scientific articles about the relation between chewing and removable dental prostheses in adults and older adult's users. An integrative search of all articles on data from SCIELO, PUBMED and LILACS databases selected articles published 2006 to 2014, whose topic focused mastication and removable dental prosthesis in adults. The search presented 21 potential articles and, after applying criteria of inclusion and exclusion, 11 were selected. The satisfaction, performance, efficiency and masticatory parameters were the variables, which found to be effected in users of removable dental prosthesis.
