Denture stomatitis merupakan suatu peradangan mukosa
 mulut yang umum terjadi pada pengguna denture. Saat ini bahan herbal banyak dimanfaatkan sebagai pengobatan denture mengingat keamanannya dan minimal efek samping ditimbulkan dibandingkan obat komersial. Salah satu kandungan dalam dentur adalah flavonoid. Flavonoid memiliki manfaat antiinflamasi antioksidan antijamur antibakteri. Tujuan...

Dear Readers, Denture-induced stomatitis is the most common type of oral candidosis and the most frequent mucosal alteration associated with complete or removable partial dentures in the elderly. Despite being an infection of multifactorial etiology, this condition has as main etiological factor the colonization of denture-bearing mucosa and acrylic bases by species of Candida spp., especially ...

Aim: To compare the effects of cast partial denture with conventional all acrylic denture in respect to retention, stability, masticatory efficiency, comfort and periodontal health of abutments. Methods: 50 adult partially edentulous patient seeking for replacement of missing teeth having Kennedy class I and II arches with or without modification areas were selected for the study. Group-A was t...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Chemical cleansing by denture cleansers is first choice for denture plaque control. The most common problems while using denture cleansers are hardening, porosity, odor sorption, water sorption, solubility, and colour change, bacterial and fungal growth. Chemical cleansing procedures have been found to have an effect on the physical and mechanical properties of denture ...

The aim of the present clinical report was to describe the use of a patient's extensive fixed prosthesis, where the supporting teeth were hopeless, for fabricating an interim immediate complete denture. The present procedure was used to replicate the vertical dimension, phonetic and aesthetic of the existing fixed prostheses as part of an immediate denture and a final complete denture.

While it would appear that denture surfaces alone become colonized by microorganisms, this study showed that the porosity of denture material allows for contamination throughout the entire denture. Further, the numerous opportunistic and pathogenic microorganisms found in this study were unexpected and are known to produce not only substantial oral infections, but also systemic diseases.

The wear resistance of denture teeth is important to the longevity of removable prostheses of edentulous patients. The ability of denture teeth to maintain a stable occlusal relationship over time may be influenced by this property. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the wear resistance of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) denture teeth based on their chemical composition when oppo...

BACKGROUND It is well known that the use of denture cleansers can reduce Candida albicans biofilm accumulation; however, the efficacy of citric acid denture cleansers is uncertain. In addition, the long-term efficacy of this denture cleanser is not well established, and their effect on residual biofilms is unknown. This in vitro study evaluated the efficacy of citric acid denture cleanser treat...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Denture tooth fracture or debonding remains a common problem in removable prosthodontics. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to explore factors determining failure strengths for combinations of different denture tooth designs (shape, materials) and injection or compression molded denture base resins. MATERIAL AND METHODS Three central incisor denture tooth d...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the level of association between patients' denture satisfaction and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in edentate patients, and to identify the determinants of satisfaction that best predict OHRQoL. The effects of time and treatment type were also assessed. METHODS Data from 255 edentate elders who participated in a randomised clinical trial were used. OHRQoL...
