| The efficiency analysis is performed by chewing chewing tablets, containing grains fuchsin inside, and when crushed release the substance into the capsule in proportion to the energy used. The chewing efficiency is calculated by measuring, with the aid of a spectrophotometer (Ultrospec 2100 pro UV / Visible Spectrophotometer ®, GE Healthcare, USA) concentration in absorbance (ABS) of the staining intensity of fuchsin solution.;The evaluation of remaining alveolar ridge height will be made through the base of the saddle removable partial denture, which will serve as a tray, which will put an impression material (polyether) to copy the space between the oral mucosa and the base of the saddle. | — |
