本研究的目的是通过口腔立体认知能力（OSA）的测试来研究口腔感觉功能的年龄差异，并确定戴全口义齿对OSA的影响。受试者为20名无口腔症状和病理的无牙颌老年患者和30名无牙颌老年患者，30名年轻的有牙颌学生作为对照。OSA测试用12种成形形式的试样进行。记录识别的持续时间，并使用三点量表记录答案。方差分析和配对t检验用于检验显著性差异。P值< 0.05被认为具有统计学显著性。老年有齿参与者和全口义齿佩戴者的OSA评分显著高于年轻有齿受试者。然而，没有显着差异，发现在OSA评分之间的老年人的牙齿和全口义齿佩戴者。当老年无牙颌受试者拆除上颌和下颌全口义齿时，OSA评分明显低于义齿，反应时间明显长于义齿。在本研究的限制范围内，通过OSA测试发现，口腔感觉功能存在年龄相关差异，但是，在老年人中，全齿人群和全口义齿佩戴者之间的口腔感觉功能没有显著差异。
The purpose of this study was to examine the age-related difference in oral sensory function by testing oral stereognostic ability (OSA) and to determine the effect of wearing complete dentures on OSA. Subjects were 20 dentate and 30 edentulous elderly patients free from oral symptoms and pathologies, and 30 younger dentate students as controls. The OSA tests were conducted with test pieces of 12 shaped forms. The duration time for recognition was noted and the answers were recorded using a three-point scale. ANOVA and paired t-tests were used to examine significant differences. P-values < 0.05 were considered to be statistically significant. The OSA score in older dentate participants and complete denture wearers was significantly higher than in younger dentate subjects. However, no significant difference was found in the OSA score between older dentate participants and complete denture wearers. When older edentulous subjects removed the maxillary and mandible complete dentures, the OSA score was significantly lower and the response time significantly longer than with dentures. Within the limitations of this study, an age-related difference in oral sensory function, as measured by OSA tests, was found. However, oral sensory function was not significantly different between fully dentate persons and complete denture wearers in the elderly.
