BACKGROUND Over the years, there has been a strong consensus in dentistry that at least two implants are required to retain a complete mandibular denture. It has been shown in several clinical trials that one single median implant can retain a mandibular overdenture sufficiently well for up to 5 years without implant failures, when delayed loading was used. However, other trials have reported c...

denture stomatotos os a common problem of the denture wears, and it's etiology is not clear from the literatures. some studies show that the aetiology is candida albicans, while other reports point out the other agents including candida albicans. the present study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of oral candidiasis in patients using complete denture with different datas. 50 subject...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the effect of chemical polishing on the internal adaptation of complete denture bases fabricated with Veracril® resin and polymerized by either the conventional (C) or microwave (M) techniques. MATERIAL AND METHODS Six groups (n=6/group) were tested: 1) C + no polishing (CO); 2) C + chemical polishing (CQ); 3) C + immersion in hot water at 75ºC (CW); 4) M + no p...

Denture stomatitis is the most common oral disorder found in denture wearers. It is usually associated with presence of Candida albicans infection. The study was carried out of (70) denture wearers to determine the effect of local predisposing factors, the oral and denture hygiene habits, age of denture and age of denture wearers and degree of Candida colonization on the denture surface to deve...

A lveolectomy has been defined as “the surgical removal of a portion of the alveolar process.“7 Alveoloplmty is a newer and better term, for, technically, alveolectomy would have us cut off the entire alveolus. ThornaG has stated that some form of alveoloplasty is indicated in nearly every instance of multiple extractions and frequently even in single extractions. Alveoloplasty, whether simple ...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of silicone remover on tensile bond strength of eight silicone-resilient denture liners to a denture base resin. Durability of bond strength of resilient denture liner to denture base resin was also examined by thermal cycling test. Materials and Methods: Eight commercial silicone resilient denture liners were used. The specimens...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Fracture of an interim fixed partial denture (FPD) may jeopardize the success of the interim prosthodontic treatment phase and cause patient discomfort. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the fracture toughness of a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) resin and a bis-acryl composite (BAC) resin reinforced with stainless steel wire, glass fiber, and polyethylene f...

Treatment of an edentulous mandible is an important standard area of indication for implants. The aim of the present study was to discuss various aspects of this very important topic using a literature research and possibly derive a recommendation for hybrid prosthetic treatment of the edentulous mandible. Though evaluation of the literature produced a large number of publications with case his...

Immediate complete denture is a full arch prosthetic, inserted immediately following the extraction of all remaining teeth to replace missing dentition and associated structures. Female patient, 74 years old, came make new set but didn’t want mobile get extracted before ready because it was still needed for her old partial retention. Upon clinical examination, she has flat maxillary mandibular ...
