Abstract Resin-Bonded Fixed Partial Dentures (RBFPD) was introduced to dentistry around 40 years ago. The typical design of re...

Conventional complete denture is the traditional treatment plan for the completely edentulous patient. Unfortunately, this treatment option has several complications, especially for the lower denture. The advance of a dental implant with attachment systems resolves many of these issues, particularly that related to the denture retention and stability. A wide variety of commercially available at...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of magnet retained overdenture treatment over tooth supported overdenture and degree to which subjective treatment outcome could be predicted by VAS (Visual Analogue Scale). 10 patients were identified and conventional over denture was delivered, they form group A1. In the same patients magnets were attached to the abutments and the same ove...

In process of fabrication of a fixed partial denture, dies are trimmed to expose margins of the preparations. The need for the soft tissue cast is quite evident as the soft tissue emergence profile that surrounds the prepared tooth is destroyed in the process of fabrication. This article describes a modified technique to fabricate the soft tissue cast for the conventional fixed partial denture....

Congenital absence of a maxillary lateral incisor occurs in many patients, and the treatment of young adults with this problem is a challenge for both prosthodontists and orthodontists. Common treatment alternatives are distalization of the canine tooth or fabrication of a conventional 3-unit fixed partial denture (FPD), a single-tooth, implantsupported crown restoration or a resinbonded fixed ...

PURPOSE Polymicrobial biofilms are abundant in clinical disease, particularly within the oral cavity. Creating complex biofilm models that recapitulate the polymicrobiality of oral disease are important in the development of new chemotherapeutic agents. In order to do this accurately we require the ability to undertake compositional analysis, in addition to determine individual cell viability, ...

Background: 3D printed complete dentures fabrication with computer-aided designing and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) techniques is becoming popular nowadays. However, studies that analyzed the occlusal forces distribution using recent digital methods as T-scan III further evaluated effect on patient`s life quality were lacking. Objectives: Evaluation of III, evaluation oral health-related (OHRQoL) Or...

Denture stomatitis is a very common disease affecting the oral mucosa of denture wearers. The aim of this study was to measure the antifungal effect of henna against Candida albicans adhered to acrylic resin as a possible method for prevention of denture stomatitis. One-hundred-eighty acrylic plates were prepared of heat-cured acrylic denture resin. The specimens were divided into six groups of...

Patients who have unusually small mouths may have difficulty in obtaining dental care and maintaining good oral hygiene. The fabrication of conventional complete removable dental prostheses for an edentulous patient with microstomia is challenging because of the limited access to the oral cavity. Sectional collapsible complete removable dental prostheses were designed as hinged maxillary and ma...
