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’s ex...

Maxillary labial and buccal frena are considered as normal anatomic structures in the oral cavity. However, they may exist intraorally as a thick broad fibrous attachment and/or become located near the crest of the residual ridge, thus interfering with proper denture border extension resulting in inferior denture stability, retention and overall patient satisfaction. This case report highlights...

The introduction of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology into complete denture (CD) fabrication ushered in a new era in removable prosthodontics. Commercially available CAD/CAM denture systems are expected to improve upon the disadvantages associated with conventional fabrication. The purpose of this report is to present the workflow involved in fabricating a ...

The objective of this study was to present a systematized review of different methods used to evaluate the masticatory efficiency in conventional complete denture wearers. A survey was conducted in the databases PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane, seeking scientific articles according to the previously selected terms: "Masticatory performance", "Masticatory efficiency" and "Chewing ability complete d...

INTRODUCTION To promote oral health among the elderly, we need to know their prosthetic status and prosthetic need. Hence, a survey of prosthetic status and need of elderly inmates of geriatric homes in Hyderabad was done. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was undertaken, and 174 subjects aged 60 years and above were examined of which 103 were male and 71 were female (59.2% males ...

PURPOSE The aim of this article is to analyze the preference for treatment modality of dentists. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data of 20,038 patients was involved. Data analysis were done by distribution according to the various kinds of prosthesis, including complete denture, removable partial denture, fixed partial denture, implant-supported dental prosthesis as well as distribution according to th...

The purpose of this investigation was to analyze the accuracy of digitally fabricated wax trial dentures and conventionally finalized complete dentures in comparison to a surface tessellation language (STL)-dataset. A generated data set for the denture bases and the tooth sockets was used, converted into STL-format, and saved as reference. Five mandibular and 5 maxillary denture bases were mill...

lh e purpose of the protrusive jaw relation record is to adjust the condylar elements of the articulator so that they will present inclinations which are, as nearly as possible, similar or equivalent to those in the temporomandibular articulation. Most adjustable articulators for complete denture procedures will receive a protrusive interocclusal relation record, and the horizontal condylar inc...

An occlusal diagnostic system was evaluated for clinical applications. This system consists of pressure sensitive sheets (DENTAL PRESCALE, Fuji Photo Film Co.) and analyzing computer (OCCLUZER FPD703, Fuji Photo Film Co.). The clinical efficiency of this system was evaluated in aged dentates, aged complete denture wearers and an aged patient suffered from periodontitis. The results were as foll...
