Piezography: An Innovative Technique in Complete Denture Fabrication
نویسندگان
چکیده
Increasing life expectancy, age-related reduction in adaptability and progressive severe mandibular resorption, all add to the difficulty in achieving prosthetic success. The conventional mandibular denture is usually less retentive than the maxillary one and successful treatment involves the development of lingual retention for the mandibular denture. Several methods taking into account physiologic function with an objective to enhance denture retention and comfort during mastication have been developed since many decades. The present article describes piezography as a method to enhance retention, stability and function for the mandibular denture through a case report.

متن کاملDouble Investment Technique of Hollow Bulb Denture Obturator Fabrication in a Completely Edentulous Patient
Introduction: Prosthodontic management of palatal defects has been employed for many years. Palatal defects of any extent cause multiple problems in speech, mastication and aesthetics. Obturator prosthesis for an edentulous patient is more critical in terms of its movements as there is no mechanical retention available. Obturators and facial prostheses are important not only for rehabilitation ...
متن کاملA Technique to Guide and Measure the Reduction of a Processed Mandibular Complete Denture for Resilient Soft Liner
A resilient soft liner (RSL) has been used in processed complete dentures but controlling its thickness has always been a challenge because of uneven reduction of the denture’s intaglio surface. Use of a thermoplastic vacuum-formed template and an endodontic K-file, as guides, for the reduction of a processed mandibular complete denture to receive RSL is described in the present report. A proce...
