conclusions the results of the current study suggest that long term use of dentures can cause a wide range of candida species colonization, resulting angular cheilitis. there was a need for an oral manifestation management-based strategy focusing on clinical and preventative treatment. angular cheilitis can be prevented by changing and replacing a new denture to modify the face vertical dimensi...

Trial production of a visible light-cured repair resin (powder/liquid type, TPL) as a denture base resin was carried out using cyclophosphazene monomer, and then the transverse and tensile strengths of the repaired specimens were examined. As a control, Triad Gel (TRI) was used. In the transverse strength test, TPL showed values of 507-470 kgf/cm2, which were about double those of TRI. As for t...

BACKGROUND It is acknowledged that oral and general health status declines with age. The global population of denture wearers is increasing, so is the incidence of denture biofilm-related problems, such as denture-associated stomatitis, aspiration pneumonia and malodour. It has been suggested that consumption of probiotic bacteria may improve oral health. However, the effects of probiotics on t...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The occurrence porosity in polymethyl methacrylate, the most commonly used denture base material is a problem. The occurrence of oral candidiasis and other infections has also been reported in denture users. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of addition of an antimicrobial agent, silver zeolite on the porosity of denture base resin, which will be an...

PURPOSE Denture adhesives are used to improve the denture retention and comfort of complete denture wearers. The purpose of this investigation was to establish the effect of a new denture adhesive on maximum bite force until denture dislodgement (BFDD) after adhesive application. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifteen denture-wearing patients (7 female, 8 male, mean age: 64 years) were involved in the...

Introduction: Extension of denture borders beyond the border line can lead to abnormal movement of the denture and therefore possible loss of retention. Soreness or sore spots that appear in the day(s) after insertion may also result from the overextended borders. Objectives: This article presents a simple technique to evaluate denture border extensions using silicone impression material. Mater...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The majority of complete denture wearers are old. Clinical experience suggests that complete denture wearers have various disorders in their gustatory and olfactory senses due to disturbance of airways between the oral and nasal cavities caused by upper complete denture. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of upper complete denture on gustatory and olfactory...
