objective: an immediate complete denture is fabricated before the extraction of all teeth. it has several advantages such as preservation of esthetics, muscular tone, normal speech and reduction of post-operative pain. this report describes a method of using patient’s current fixed partial denture (fpd) for single-appointment construction of interim immediate denture.   case: we used patient’s ...

background and aims. the majority of complete denture wearers are old. clinical experience suggests that complete denture wearers have various disorders in their gustatory and olfactory senses due to disturbance of airways between the oral and nasal cavities caused by upper complete denture. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of upper complete denture on gustatory and olfactor...

In this investigation the denture retention was measured and the influence of denture -retention on ima'sticatory efficiency was examined. The investigation was iperf armed on 36 comiplete denture wearers. The test of masticatory efficiency wals used according to Ni'kšić (1965). The meaisuriinig of denture retention was made by specially constructed mechanical scale, which wa's designed so that...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fabrication of a complete denture using a CAD/CAM system. Cone beam CT was used to measure the complete denture and the artificial teeth. After a 3D complete denture image was structured using 3D CAD software, we factored out the artificial teeth and obtained a 3D denture base image. A machining center cut an acrylic resin block, and fabricated an a...

introdouction: the aim of this study was to compare the ratios of the mesiodistal width of the upper and lower central incisors between natural teeth and those produced artificially by ideal makoo, ivoclar, and vitapan, in iran. materials and methods: the mesiodistal width of the upper and lower central incisors was measured in 120 students, using calipers placed at the height of contour of the...

denture stomatotos os a common problem of the denture wears, and it's etiology is not clear from the literatures. some studies show that the aetiology is candida albicans, while other reports point out the other agents including candida albicans. the present study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of oral candidiasis in patients using complete denture with different datas. 50 subject...

The torus mandibularis presents many challenges when fabricating a complete denture. The mucosa tends to be thin and will not tolerate normal occlusal loads on a denture. Large mandibular tori can prevent complete seating of impression trays and denture. To address this problem, we fabricated a new mandibular complete denture incorporating a combination of soft acrylic flanges and liners.

The use of implant supported overdentures is a well-documented and successful clinical concept with excellent long term results. In this article management of completely edentulous patient with greatly resorbed mandibular ridge has been discussed where patient’s existing mandibular complete denture is converted into implant supported overdenture.
