Background: Residual ridge resorption presents obstacles in prosthodontic treatment, affecting denture stability and the success of dental implants. Genetic elements, specifically the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) 1772C>T variant within the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF-1α) gene, are hypothesized to contribute to residual ridge resorption progression. Nevertheless, its impact remains insufficiently investigated, especially within the context of South Indian populations.

People with oral impairments, such as poor denture status, poor muscle strength, and poor salivary secretion, have more difficulties performing oral processes, which results in the risk of choking. In this study, we aimed to understand, in vitro, how different oral impairments can affect the oral processing of food reported as a choking hazard. Six foods that frequently cause choking were selected and studied, varying three in vitro factors at two levels-saliva incorporation amount, cutting activity, and compression action.
