background and aims. there are many edentulous people with severely resorbed residual ridges and non-resilient lining mucosa that are unable to tolerate occlusal forces during functional and parafunctional movements. lining the tissue surface of dentures with a flexible material can theoretically distribute and absorb forces with cushioning effect. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effe...

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the anatomical characteristics edentulous residual ridges in stone casts complete dentures users and assess correlations with masticatory efficiency. Methods: sample included 74 casts, which 37 were higher bottom. Measurements performed using a drypoint compass transparent ruler. Arches maxillae mandibles classified into ...

Aim: To compare new design implant-supported removable partial dentures retained with anterior fixed prosthesis a conventional locater and bar attached implant overdenture prostheses by two or four implants via photoelastic stress analysis. Materials Methods: Seven edentulous mandibuler acryclic models prepared divided into main groups; to models, subgroup separation as stated; for locator atta...

BACKGROUND Many elderly patients in long-term care hospitals cannot adequately brush their dentures because of disease, dementia and poor dexterity. Such inadequate cleaning may allow for the multiplication of Candida spp. and bacteria, which could serve as reservoirs for disseminating infections. OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of 3 denture cleansers in reducing the number of microorganisms...

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Information retrieval followed a systematic approach using PubMed and the Cochrane Library. English articles published from 1966 to June 2007, in which the masticatory performance of subjects with implant-supported or retained dentures was assessed by objective methods and compared to performance with conventional dentures, were included. Ratings of the evidence provided i...

The incisive papilla provides a reference point on the edentulous cast that may be helpful in determining the anteroposterior position of the artificial incisors. The results of the study suggest that the labial surface of the maxillary incisors should be 12 to 13 mm from the posterior border of the incisive papilla. This measurement was significantly smaller in the sample of dentures examined,...

Denture stomatitis is an ordinaty disease among pacients that use removable dentures. These caracterized by hiperemia, edema and moderate to intense inflamation. The etiology of denture has many causes, but it a direct relationship with the total denture. Of nine pacients, four them had their dentures exchanged five removed at night for desinfection using 1% hipoclorite solution. Both treatment...

The aim of this study was to present a case report of the surgical removal of hyperplasia in the oral cavity, using carbon dioxide (CO(2)) laser radiation and rehabilitation with a complete denture. Epulis fissuratum occurs in complete denture patients, because a constant irritative action induces the mucosa to grow under poorly fitting dentures. These lesions must be removed, and to avoid a re...

Correct occlusal relationships are part of the successful prosthetic treatment for edentulous patients. Fabrication of complete dentures comprises of clinical and laboratory procedures that should be executed accurately for achieving success with fabricated dentures. Errors occurring during the clinical and laboratory procedures of a denture may subsequently lead to the occlusal errors in the f...
