PATIENT A 39-year-old female patient was admitted with mobility of maxillary anterior fixed partial denture. She was diagnosed as severe chronic periodontitis of abutment teeth of the denture, left alveolus cleft, and anterior/posterior crossbites. The crossbites were improved by prosthetic approach using an implant-supported fixed partial denture with a removable gingival veneer at the anterio...

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...

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...
