An alternative technique for hollowing maxillary complete denture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extreme resorption of edentulous maxilla may cause difficulty during fabrication of a maxillary complete denture. Increased inter-ridge distance often creates a clinical problem due to heavy-weighted maxillary prosthesis. This article elaborates an alternative approach for hollowing a maxillary complete denture. It utilizes a clear template of the trial denture facilitating the creation of a gelatin cavity form. This hollowing ensures the even thickness of both denture base resins for structural integrity and reduces the heaviness of the denture.

The need for repairing a removable partial denture occasionally arises in clinical practice. The common causes for repair of removal partial denture include tissue changes of the residual ridge, breakage or distortion of denture components and complications that arise in the remaining teeth. Distal extension partial dentures are particularly affected as the tissue-base relationship changes over...

Introduction: Flabby or fibrous ridge is one of the consequences of long term wearing of complete dentures. It can develop where hyperplasic soft tissue replaces the alveolar bone and is a common finding, particularly in the upper anterior region of long term denture wearers. Forces exerted during impression making can result in distortion of the mobile tissue unless managed appropriately; such...

Dentures are designed to replace missing teeth, and are worn by the patient for considerable period of time. The dentists skill lies in applying the principles of retention, stability and support efficiently in critical situations. Severely atrophic ridges provide decreased retention, support, and stability and pose a clinical challenge to the success of complete denture prostheses. The severel...

Objective: An immediate complete denture is fabricated before the extraction of all teeth. It has several advantages such as preservation of esthetics, muscular tone, normal speech and reduction of post-operative pain. This report describes a method of using patient’s current fixed partial denture (FPD) for single-appointment construction of interim immediate denture. Case: We used patient’...

Retention, stability and support are the basic principles on which the success of a complete denture relies on. The skill lies in applying these principles efficiently in critical situations. Residual ridge resorption occurs at a three times faster rate in mandibular arch than in the maxillary arch. The severely resorbed maxillary and mandibular edentulous arches that are narrow and constricted...
