Abstract

<jats:p>Oral stereognosis was analysed in a group of edentulous subjects rehabilitated with complete removable dentures. Stereognosis was evaluated with and without the denture in place. The results showed that the older subjects had poorer stereognostic ability than the younger ones, whereas the duration of edentulism appeared not to influence this ability. The presence of a correct prosthetic rehabilitation appeared to improve stereognostic ability. Subjects with poorer stereognostic ability appeared more satisfied with their rehabilitation than did those with better stereognostic ability.</jats:p>
