The use of dental implants in replacing missing teeth is an integral part of restorative dental treatment. Use of conventional complete dentures is associated with several problems such as lack of denture stability, support and retention. However, when mandibular complete dentures were used with two or more implants, an improvement in the patients' psychological and social well-being could be s...

Patients with the anterior defects either due to trauma, congenital or pathological can be treated with conventional removable or fixed partial denture. The lost soft tissue structures are not replaced by the conventional treatment option. Andrews bridge is combination of both removable and fixed partial denture and fulfills all the requirements like phonetics, hygiene, aesthetics and comfort. ...

People loss their teeth due to numerous reason. These people have to go for dental treatment and get artificial teeth. But denture treatment is very costly for an average human with limited income. The main factor contributing to the cost of the denture is number of implants used for the treatment .A single implant cost around Rs. 25000 and generally for better stability dentist use two or more...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate patient satisfaction and clinical and prosthetic outcomes of two-implant mandibular overdenture treatment with different attachment types after 10 years of function. MATERIALS AND METHODS In a crossover clinical trial, 18 edentulous subjects with complaints regarding their mandibular dentures received two implants and a new denture with magnet, ba...

This retrospective clinical study aimed to assess patient's satisfaction with removable partial dentures (RPDs), as retention, chewing ability, aesthetics during the observation period. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 63 patients with RPDs, participated in this study. The following data was collected: Kennedy classification, denture design, denture support, satisfaction and success of RPD. ...

Objective: To choose a kind of more reasonable attachment by comparing three-dimensional finite element stresses of two kinds of attachments in anterior implant fixed bridge and posterior extracoronal attachment denture to restore maxillary edentulous jaw. Materials and Methods: The three-dimensional finite element model of extracoronal resilient attachment model (model I) was reconstructed whi...

PURPOSE The design of the attachment must provide an optimum stress distribution around the implant. In this study, for implant overdentures with a bar/clip attachment or a locator attachment, the stress transmitted to the implant in accordance with the change in the denture base length and the vertical pressure was measured and analyzed. MATERIALS AND METHODS Test model was created with epox...

The purpose of this study is to compare the flexural strength values of four different methods for chair side direct transfer methods of implant housing. Materials and Methods: Sixty heat-cured polymethylmethacrylate denture blocks were prepared of size 11 (±0.5) x 8 (±0.5) x 38(±0.5) mm. At the centre a hole of 5mmx8mm dimension was made to secure the implant housing.The Implant Housings were ...
