Conventional complete denture prosthetics require several appointments to register the maxillomandibular relationship and evaluate the esthetics. The fabrication of milled complete dental prostheses with digital scanning technology may decrease the number of appointments. The step-by-step method necessary to obtain impressions, maxillomandibular relation records, and anterior tooth position wit...

This clinical report describes a technique to stabilize a computer-aided dental implant surgical guide to existing implants. A patient requested conversion of her existing mandibular implant-assisted overdenture into a fixed complete denture. The surgical procedure was planned virtually, and the two existing dental implants were integrated into the surgical plan as a means to fixate the surgica...

The influence of denture changes, occurring during a period of use ranging from one to 15 years, was studied in a group of 35 complete denture subjects. Clinical and electromyographic data were collected. N0 correlation was found between denture serviceability on the one hand and masticatory performance and muscular coordination during chewing of test food on the other. However, a significant c...

Objective. To investigate the influence of reproduction of different thickness and palatal rugae materials on complete dentures speech using Computerized Speech Lab (CSL) (spectrogram). Materials and Methods. Three completely edentulous male patients (aged 50-60 years) were selected for reading a paragraph. Twelve upper dentures were constructed, four for each patient. The patients' speech grou...

A resilient soft liner (RSL) has been used in processed complete dentures but controlling its thickness has always been a challenge because of uneven reduction of the denture’s intaglio surface. Use of a thermoplastic vacuum-formed template and an endodontic K-file, as guides, for the reduction of a processed mandibular complete denture to receive RSL is described in the present report. A proce...

Aim: To compare the chewing process and swallowing threshold parameters of subjects with complete dentures and overdentures with data obtained from subjects with complete natural dentitions. Methodology: The chewing process in terms of swallowing threshold parameters of four groups of subjects with complete dentures (all females) was quantified by sieving particles after chewing of an artificia...

In this extra article, five different dental technicians have made dentures on identical single patient from their own sources of approaches, and their background theories are discussed in their logical terms. Even though their procedures are different from one another, this patient is satisfied with dentures made respectively. Why does this happen? In complete denture therapy, varieties are ma...

Background: According to previous studies, persons wearing implant-retained prostheses may create bite forces comparable to those possessing natural dentition and it has been suggested that the risk for combination syndrome increases in persons wearing mandibular implant-retained prostheses opposed to maxillary complete dentures. Aim: This article presents the fabrication of a maxillary convent...

Aim: Aim of this study was the evaluate retention and biting force conventional complete denture after placement a single implant in mandible for an retained over-denture
 Material methods
 Eight completely edentulous patients were selected. A inserted at symphysis left to osseointergrate. During osseointegration period fabricated inserted. Retention measured insertion 3 months servic...
