Fig 6 — Clinical implications, a) the maximum contact pressures induced by both initial and optimized dentures are compared with the clinical pressure-pain thresholds (PPTs) over the distal region of the mandible. The maximum contact pressure (*) under the optimized denture is significantly lower than the PPTs available from literature (p < 0.01). b) Hydrostatic pressure induced by the denture insertion through the optimization procedure, indicating the reduction of disturbance severity to the blood circulation.
