It is a denture type micro electric field loading device design. The device is a removable partial denture, and there are a power supply and the electrode plate in the denture. The electrode plate embedded in the denture base, electrode embedded in the buccal and lingual base, between the base and the artificial teeth is the power supply, the power supply and both sides electrodes connected by ...

PURPOSE The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of sociodemographic factors on quality of satisfaction towards denture treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred subjects (filling inclusion criteria) who were wearing a denture for at least two months were enrolled and divided into five groups on the basis of sociodemographic variables (age, gender, literacy level, socio-econo...

Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) denture base manufacturers claim to produce their resin pucks under high heat and pressure. Therefore, CAD/CAM dentures are assumed to have enhanced mechanical properties and, as a result, are often produced with lower denture base thicknesses than conventional, manually fabricated dentures. The aim of this study was to investigat...

Aim: In recent years, the number of patients complaining of symptoms of oral discomfort such as dry mouth, tongue pain, and burning sensation of the mouth has been increasing. This study aimed to determine whether denture treatment improved oral discomfort accompanying dry and sticky sensations. Methods: Forty-eight partial and/or complete denture wearers complaining of oral discomfort were rec...

The purpose of this study was to comparatively study and elucidate the characteristics of masticatory function of the subjects with complete denture and those with normal natural dentition. The study were carried out on 20 subjects with normal natural dentition and 30 subjects with complete denture having clinically good prognosis. Masticatory movements were analyzed by electromyograph (EMG) an...

OBJECTIVE Excessive pressure due to wearing mal-adapting dentures is well known to cause residual bone resorption beneath the denture. X-rays have been commonly utilized to evaluate the changes in the bone beneath the denture. However, X-ray images merely detect bone density and relatively large changes in the bone shape and structure, whereas nuclear medicine imaging can detect functional chan...

Objectives Maxillary implant-supported over-denture is a suitable treatment where conventional denture cannot be used. Few studies are available on maxillary over-denture while more are available on mandibular over-denture with no literature referring to attachment selection in maxillary over-dentures. The objective of this literature review was to see attachment selection strategies in maxill...

Dear Editor, Despite major advances in dentistry and dental prostheses, complete removable dentures are still widely used for oral rehabilitation of edentulous people. Denture surfaces prepare a favorable environment for adherence and proliferation of oral endogenous microorganisms, which is a crucial first step in the initiation of biofilm formation, caused denture stomatitis. Candida species ...

While investigation of the microbiome on natural oral surfaces has generated a wealth of information, few studies have examined the microbial communities colonizing dentures and their relationship to oral health. To address this knowledge gap, we characterized the bacterial community associated with dentures and remaining teeth in healthy individuals and patients with denture stomatitis. The mi...

CONTEXT Researchers have concentrated their focus on denture wearer's attitude and practice toward denture cleansing despite the fact that they should be more focused on the attitudes of the dentists' themselves towards patient education at the time of denture delivery. It is an obligation of every dentist to motivate, instruct and provide the means and methods of plaque control for their patie...
