Ridge Resorption and Subjective Complaints of Denture Patients

Decreasing of residual alveolar ridge height in complete denture wearers. A five year follow up study.

The resorption of the residual alveolar ridges is a chronic and continuous process of bone remodeling. The aim of this study was to analyse the rate of residual ridge resorption at different sites in the both jaws in complete denture wearers, through a five-year period of denture wearing. Residual ridge changes were measured on successive lateral cephalograms at 5 measurement points of the maxi...

Principles of Overdenture on One-piece Narrow Dental Implants in Patients with Different Patterns of Mandibular Ridge Resorption

PRINCIPLES OF OVERDENTURE ON ONE-PIECE NARROW DENTAL IMPLANTS IN PATIENTS WITH DIFFERENT PATTERNS OF MANDIBULAR RIDGE RESORPTION (Abstract). Aim: To highlight the particularities of mandibular overdenture on one-piece narrow dental implants in patients with two frequent and high-difficulty clinical situations, namely flat alveolar ridge (also known as severe ridge resorption, when mainly vertic...

Anterior maxillary residual ridge resorption and posterior residual ridge resorption in patients with an implant-retained mandibular overdenture compared to patients with a conventional mandibular denture; a 10-year prospective study

Association of type 2 diabetes mellitus with the reduction of mandibular residual ridge among edentulous patients using panoramic radiographs

Objective: To evaluate the association between type 2 diabetes mellitus and the reduction of mandibular residual ridge in completely edentulous patients wearing complete dentures and to investigate the effect of gender, age and years of edentulousness/ denture wearing on ridge resorption on both groups. Methods: Seventy-two (36 men and 36 women) with a mean age 63.5 years (range of 52 to 73 yea...

بررسی مقایسه‌ای pH، قدرت چسبندگی و قابل شستشو بودن در 4 چسب دندان مصنوعی رایج در کشور

Background and Aims: Residual ridge resorption is an unpredictable, unavoidable and time-dependent process which occurs in denture-wearing patients especially those who use mandibular dentures. This process causes more problems in mandible because of its less support, tongue forces and more resorption. Inserting implants in many of these patients requires bone grafts. Overdentures are also mo...
