Resumen
[EN]Background and Objectives: Tactile sensibility is an important characteristic for evaluating
the masticatory efficiency in different occlusal situations. When a tooth is extracted, relevant proprioceptors from the periodontal ligament get lost; and after the rehabilitation of this abscess by means
of oral prosthesis, this sensibility decreases influencing masticatory function. Osseoperception is a
sensitive phenomenon associated with dental implants that allows an increased tactile sensibility to
those wearing implant prostheses. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in tactile
sensibility values between implant prosthesis, complete dentures, and natural teeth through a review
of the available literature. Materials and Methods. In order to dissect the information, 24 articles from
2004 to 2021 were analyzed from MEDLINE, PubMed Central, and Web of Science databases. These
articles were directly related to measuring tactile sensibility in different situations and demonstrating
the influence of osseoperception in an improved masticatory function. Results: Tactile sensibility
in implant prosthesis is slightly reduced compared with natural dentition but presents improved
values with regard to complete dentures. Conclusions: Implant prosthesis are more effective during
masticatory function than complete dentures, as they present an increased tactile sensibility, very
similar to that present in natural dentition. This enhanced sensibility in implants is due to the
osseoperception phenomenon.
