Parkinson's disease
Conditions
Interventions
Case group: 15 patients with Parkinson's disease will be evaluated for Oral Health and Masticatory Function. The Oral health will be evaluated by GOHAI and OHIP-49 questionnaires
the sum of the number of decayed, missing and filled (DMF)
by retaining condition and stability of dentures
by the presence of biofilm on the denture, as evidenced by a dye. The Masticatory function will be evaluated by chewing Performance (represented by the value of X50)
by tracing of mandibular movements and maximum bite force. The evaluations will be carried out over a period of 1 hour, in a single day.
Control group: 15 patients without Parkinson's disease, dementi
by tracing of mandibular movements and maximum bite force. The evaluations will be carried out over a period of 1 hour, in a single day.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Case group: volunteer with Parkinson's disease; both genders; age over 60 years; edentulous or partially dentate; with and without removable dental prostheses. Control group: volunteers without Parkinson's disease; both genders; age over 60 years; edentulous or partially dentate; with and without removable dental prostheses.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Case group: volunteers should not have neurodegenerative disease, except for Parkinson's disease; and should not have not neurological disorders in which parkinsonism comprises the clinical condition. Control group: volunteers should not have Parkinson's disease or other neurodegenerative disease; they should not have neurological disorders in which parkinsonism comprises the clinical condition.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It will be expected to find an impairment in the oral health and masticatory function in the group with Parkinson's disease when compared to the control group. The oral health is evaluated by the sum of the number of decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) of the volunteers. For determining the expected outcome, a difference of 5% in the value of DMFT between the experimental and control groups are considered clinically significant. The chewing function is measured by the value of 'X50', and for determining the expected outcome, differences of 2 points in this figure are clinically relevant. | — |
