The complete dentures are realized by different acrylic resins and different technologies. These materials are fragile and frequently appear crack and fractures of these dentures. Also, theses materials as well as the technologies of performing these dentures are expensive. In order to avoid the ultimate failure of the complete dentures, for each case there is necessary a numerical simulation as a preliminary stage before the effective performance of the denture. In order to realize the numerical simulation of the complete denture there is necessary to know the mechanical and elastic properties of the acrylic resins. This paper presents the results of experimental investigations performed in order to determine the mechanical and elastic properties of complete denture materials. A 3D laser scanner was used for the elaboration of the geometrical model of the complete dentures. In this way, using the reverse engineering technology there was realized a very accurate geometrical model. Finite element analysis was used to estimate the durability of the same complete dentures. The calculation model was finally validated by a fatigue experimental test.

Background. In recent years, complete denture construction has been revolutionized using computer-aided designing and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology. This clinical study compared the retention and denture base adaptation of 3D-printed complete dentures fabricated using dimethacrylate-based resins with a photoinitiator versus conventional complete dentures. Methods. Ten completely edentulous patients were nominated for this study. Each patient received two complete dentures. One complete denture was conventionally fabricated, while the other was digitally fabricated through 3D printing of dimethacrylate-based resins with a photoinitiator. Denture base adaptation for both dentures was evaluated using surface matching software. Denture retention was also evaluated using a digital force meter at the time of complete denture insertion (T0 ), after three months (T3 ) and six months (T6 ) of denture use. Results. Regarding adaptation (mean misfit values), a statistically insignificant difference was detected between the two differently fabricated complete dentures. In addition, comparable satisfactory retention values were observed for both conventionally fabricated and 3D-printed dentures; however, there was an insignificant increase in retention over time. Conclusion. 3D-printed complete dentures fabricated using dimethacrylate-based resins could be a promising alternative to conventionally fabricated complete dentures with satisfactory denture base adaptation and retention.

Introduction: Oral cleanliness is important for all to maintain the overall health status. It is also important for the old aged edentulous people with dentures. The complete dentures are custom made device which are the replacement for the missing all tooth of mouth. Many microorganisms adhere to the surfaces of dentures and form denture plaque and calculus. They are there due to inadequate denture hygiene maintenance. This study was performed with the aim of assessing cleanliness of complete dentures among the denture wearers.Methods :A descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among 140 complete denture in the Department of Prosthodontics and Maxillofacial Prosthetics at Chitwan Medical College and Hospital. A convenience sampling method was used in this study. After taking the sociodemographic information and other information related to dentures, the participants dentures were evaluated with disclosing agent. The stained dentures were then assessed according to the Denture Cleanliness Index. Data was analyzed by using descriptive statistical tools in SPSS-16 and results were presented in form of tables.Results: The mean age of 140 patients was 71.39±5.80 years. There were 81 (57.9%) females and 59 (42.1) males. About 27 (19.3%) denture wearers did not remove dentures from their mouth at night. Among total, 81 (57.9%) of participants brushed their dentures with water. Denture Cleanliness Index scores of 2 was observed in 64 (45.8%) of denture wearers. Conclusions: It can be concluded that majority of participants had uncleaned dentures suggesting the need ofproper denture hygiene instructions and routinely follow-up for the cleanliness of dentures and their overall intraoral health status whether or not there were denture stomatitis.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Rehabilitation of the edentulous patients has always been a challenge. The success of conventional complete denture therapy might be affected by several factors such as patients’ age, personality, previous denture wearing experience, expectations, aesthetics, residual ridge form and anatomy, denture quality, the method of its construction, dentist experience, and dentist-patient relations. Objectives. The aim of this study was to compare patient satisfaction with complete dentures provided by fourth and fifth year dental students and prosthodontists with a minimum of 5 years’ experience at the University of Jordan Hospital 8 weeks after insertion. Methods. Questionnaires were distributed to a total of 60 completely edentulous patients who received complete maxillary and mandibular dentures. Besides demographic questions, the questionnaire included questions that probed the patient’s satisfaction with his maxillary and mandibular dentures in general using two types of scales. Results. Results indicated that dentist experience does not affect patients’ satisfaction with their complete dentures. Our results also indicated that patients who had previous dentures could adapt more easily and were generally more satisfied with their newly inserted dentures especially with regard to their chewing ability and comfort with their mandibular dentures. Gender also influenced patient satisfaction with complete dentures especially the part related to psychological and social disability. Conclusions. Results of this study will help in further understanding factors influencing patient satisfaction with their complete dentures.

Background and Objectives: Edentulism is considered to be an impediment impacting both patients’ quality of life and their nutrition. Conventional complete dentures are still a preferred treatment. However, there is no consensus on the most important factors which could substantially reduce the risk of patient dissatisfaction. This study evaluated the following determinants concerning patient satisfaction with complete maxillary and mandibular dentures: sex, denture-related functional and aesthetic aspects, and the degree of bone resorption. Materials and Methods: This study included 70 patients aged 34–81 years of age. All complete dentures were made by following the same technology. Visual analogue scales were used to assess patients’ overall satisfaction with dentures, comfort, ability to speak and chew, denture aesthetics, stability, and ease of prosthesis cleaning. Satisfaction with upper and lower dentures was rated separately. The degree of bone resorption was classified by using the Kalk and de Baat (1989) method. Results: The mean (SD) age of the study participants was 67.3 (10.4) years; 65.7% (n = 46) were females and 34.3% (n = 24) were males. There were no significant sex-based differences in resorption of the maxilla or mandibula. There were significant differences between maxillary and mandibular dentures, with lower mean satisfaction scores concerning chewing and maxillary complete dentures, and in regard to stability and comfort for mandibular complete dentures. There was a non-significant overall lower satisfaction with increased age. In multivariate analysis for mandibular complete dentures, aesthetics and stability significantly predicted the patient’s comfort levels, and the patient’s comfort significantly predicted overall satisfaction. For maxillary complete dentures, patient comfort and aesthetics significantly predicted overall patient satisfaction. Conclusions: Age, sex, and degree of resorption were not associated with patient satisfaction with complete dentures. Overall, patient satisfaction with both maxillary and mandibular complete dentures was related to their comfort level and denture aesthetics, and patient comfort itself was associated with stability of the mandibular denture.

ABSTRACT Objective To determine the denture hygiene habits in complete denture patients according to their age and time of dentures. Methods In this study a self administered structured was developed to know the attitude of the patients regarding denture hygiene in the department of Prosthodontics. The total study sample consisted of 230 subjects including 124 (53.9%) males and 106 (46.1%) females. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 15.0 with chi-square test at p-value <0.05. Results Nearly half of the subjects clean their dentures daily once. Participants from the younger age group and who had been wearing dentures since 2 years maintain better frequency of cleaning. The majority of these subjects used water and brush for denture cleansing. After seeing the condition, half of the dentures were rated as good 50.3%, followed by fair and poor as 29.5 and 20.2% respectively. Clinical significance Poor condition of complete dentures seen in the population is mainly due to irregularly cleansing habits and also less usage of cleansing solutions. Dentists should give proper instructions regarding maintenance of denture hygiene. How to cite this article Apratim A, Shah SS, Sinha M, Agrawal M, Chhaparia N, Abubakkar A.

Introduction. Complete denture reinforced with metal bases is fabricated in cases of fracture risk as well as in selected patients with neuromuscular disorders. The aim of this report was to present different designs of metal framework for complete denture and their advantages in the treatment of edentulous patients. Material and Methods. The study included 116 edentulous patients who received complete dentures. The respondents were divided into two groups according to the type of denture used. Thirty one patients were rehabilitated with complete dentures reinforced with metal base, whereas 85 patients received conventional complete acrylic dentures. Metal bases were fabricated using Co-Cr-Mo alloy. Two designs different in regards to the vibrating line were fabricated: metal frame extended to the vibrating line and acrylic resin extended to the vibrating line. After investing and casting, metal bases were electropolished. Subsequent processes of arranging artificial teeth, waxing, flasking and finishing completed the fabrication process of dentures. Results. Denture base fractures were prevented in majority of patients. The design of upper denture where metal frame was extended to the vibrating line and metal base with elongation over the convex edentulous ridge in lower jaw were the most favored and successful in prosthetic rehabilitation of experimental group of edentulous patients. There was no need for rebasing of complete dentures reinforced with metal base. Conclusion. Complete denture reinforced with metal base presents a favorable design for rehabilitation of edentulous patients with well pronounced edentulous ridges and low tendency to resorption.

Full textAbstract:
The success of complete dentures is highly dependent on the anatomy of the oral cavity. Several conditions can affect the final denture fit. Disorders of the soft tissues, such as denture hyperplasia, denture stomatitis and mucosal pathology may play a role. There are also difficulties related to the shape of the bone, including excessively large undercuts/bony exostoses, tori, enlarged tuberosities and flabby ridges and other factors, such as xerostomia to be considered. The aim of this article is to help diagnose these conditions and to suggest ways of overcoming the individual problems with which patients present before starting denture construction. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The diagnosis of several oral conditions and their appropriate management may help achieve an optimal outcome when constructing complete dentures.

Aim: To determine the denture cleaning routine and habits in complete denture wearers according to cleaning frequency, patient age and life of dentures. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a self-administered questionnaire was designed to learn about patient’s attitudes toward denture cleanliness in the Prosthodontics department. A detailed questionnaire was applied for total 130 patients visiting the Department of Prosthodontics in the Rehmat memorial postgraduate hospital Abbottabad for follow-up care. Data was recorded and analysed by using SPSS version 15.0 for results. Results: Total 130 participants including 90 males (69.3%) and 40 females (30.7%). 48.6% of participants clean their dentures every day, 32.9% once a week, and 18.5 % only occasionally. The highest percentage is seen in Group 1, which is 41.2%. Approximately 77% of Group 2 participants clean their dentures at least once a week, including both daily and once-a-week denture wearers. 71 individuals had been wearing dentures for 3-5 years. 41.2% of them clean their dentures every day, while 58.6 percent clean them twice a week. 6-8 years denture wearers do not clean them on a regular basis. Most patients 42% use only water, while 30% use a combination of water and a toothbrush. Around 20% of participants used soap and water, but only 8% of denture wearers utilised cleansing tablets in addition to water. There was significant difference among all groups (P=0.001). Conclusion: In this study it has been observed that full denture patients have trouble cleansing their dentures. A lack of regular cleaning practises and decreased use of cleaning solutions is the primary cause of poor denture hygiene among the seniors. Dentists should educate patients regarding optimal denture maintenance and materials used for cleaning verbally and in written form. Keywords: Denture Complete Denture hygiene, cleansing Habits, Denture cleaning solution.

The use of complete dentures is not free of trouble. The dentures can produce severe side effects, which if left unchecked will produce, destabilization of occlusion, loss of retention, decreased masticatory efficiency, poor aesthetics, increase ridge resorption, tissue injury. The problems will progress till the stage where the patient will be considered prosthetically maladaptive and cannot wear dentures any more. The interaction of prosthesis and oral environment has several apects. The surface properties of the prosthesis may affect plaque formation. Surface irregularities and microporosities can enhance microbial colonization. Plaque formation is also influenced by: design of prosthesis, health of adjacent mucosa, composition of saliva, salivary secretion rate, oral hygiene, denture wearing habits. Thus, a prosthesis may promote infection of the underlying mucosa, caries and periodontal diseases of the overdenture abutments, perimplantitis (inflammation of the peri-implantal membrane), chemical degradation or corrosion of prosthesis. All these disorders produced/ accelerated in the oral tissues due to the presence of a denture are grouped as sequelae of wearing complete dentures. Sequelae of complete denture wear can be divided into direct and indirect types depending on the effect of the prosthesis on the tissues are discussed and hence the current literature is reviewed.

Aim: this study was to investigate the effect of reinforcing material on the fracture resistances of Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) BIOHPP (Bio High Performance Polymer) and Zirconia-reinforced maxillary complete dentures under fatigue loading. Materials And Methods: BIOHPP and Zirconia framework-reinforced maxillary complete dentures were fabricated using silicone moulds and acrylic resin. A control group was prepared with no reinforcement (n =5 per group). After cyclic loading was applied using a chewing simulator, fracture resistance was measured by a universal testing machine. The fracture resistance was measured for each denture. Results: After cyclic loading, none of the dentures showed cracks or fractures. During fracture resistance testing, all unreinforced dentures experienced complete fracture. The framework-reinforced dentures showed fracture of the acrylic without framework fracture. BIOHPP reinforced maxillary denture showed the highest fracture resistance (1705.70±213.75), followed by the Zirconia reinforced maxillary denture (1690.10±135.40) (p<0.001). Conclusion: CAD/CAM Zirconia and BIOHPP frameworks used as reinforcement for maxillary complete denture shows higher fracture resistance and more retentive dentures under cyclic loading. Maxillary complete denture reinforced by BIOHPP framework show higher fracture resistance than Zirconia. The BIOHPP and Zirconia-reinforced denture exhibits a fracture resistance higher than that of the unreinforced denture, with dentures maintaining their shape even after fracture, indicating the possibility of easier repair.

Background: The rehabilitation of edentulous patients requires acrylic resin complete dentures to fulfil their functional and esthetic needs. Fractures of dentures are one of the commonest complaints around the world. Aim: To evaluate the frequency of acrylic complete denture fractures among edentulous patients and find out their association with certain variables. Methodology: A cross sectional observational study was carried out in Prosthodontic department of Lahore Medical and Dental College, Lahore from 26th March 2020 to 26th September 2021. A total of 58 completely edentulous patients reported with fractured acrylic dentures were selected. Patients were evaluated both intra and extra orally to find out the cause and site of fracture. Various parameters namely, denture age, fracture sites, gender were statistically evaluated to find out their relationship with denture fracture. Results: Results showed that male patients; 56.9% were presenting more with fractured dentures than female; 43.10%. In males the midline denture fractures were most commonly seen 45.5%, whereas in females’ fracture at premolar area was commonly observed 28.0% however no statistical dependance between fractured dentures sites and gender was found. Denture fractures were most prevalent in mandibular arch 50% as compared to maxillary 39.7%. Mid line fracture was the commonest site observed in both maxillary 30.4% and mandibular arches 31.0%. Insignificant association between fracture sites and dental arches was seen. Maximum denture fractures were recorded in first 2 years of denture fabrication 55.2%. The most frequent cause of denture fracture was accidental falling 34.5%. Conclusion: The frequency of complete denture fracture is more in mandible as compared to maxilla and the main reason is patients’ negligence. The study also showed midline fracture of dentures to be the most frequent site of denture fracture. Keywords: Acrylic dentures, Complete dentures, Edentulism, Edentulous, Prosthesis, Tooth loss,

In this study, a questionnaire was applied to patients from Ribeirão Preto Dental School, University of São Paulo, Brazil, to evaluate the hygiene methods and habits concerning the use of complete dentures, the age of dentures, and whether patients have been instructed on how to clean their dentures. The mean age of patients was 63.35 years, and most of them were females (82.08%). The results showed that 62.26% of the respondents had been using the same maxillary complete denture for more than 5 years, and 49.06% used the same mandible complete denture for more than 5 years. Of the patients interviewed, 58.49% slept with the dentures. Mechanical brushing was the most used cleaning method by the patients (100%), using water, dentifrice and toothbrush (84.91%). Most patients (51.89%) reported never having been instructed by their dentists as to how to clean their dentures. Based on the limitations of this study, it was concluded that the patients interviewed had limited knowledge about prosthetic hygiene and oral care. The method more used by patients was the mechanical method of brushing, most patients used the same complete dentures for more than 5 years and slept with the dentures.

After complete denture insertion, edentulous patients usually present transitory difficulties. This is one of the most critical stages of prosthetic treatment and it is strongly related to the prostheses acceptance. The aim of this study was to evaluate potential changes in the mandibular movement pattern related to insertion of the complete denture during the functional adaptation period. The kinesiograph instrument K6-I (Myotronics Research Inc., Seattle, WA) was used to evaluate eight edentulous patients that received conventional complete denture treatment. Recordings of opening and closure movement limits, movement velocity, postural rest position, chewing cycle and limits of eccentric movements were performed. Each patient was evaluated in four different stages: with the old dentures, immediately after insertion of the new dentures, and 30 days and 6 months after insertion of the dentures. The results showed that there were no remarkable changes in the mandibular motion patterns after insertion of the new dentures. It was suggested that the problems related to the process of utilization of new dentures are not strictly associated to the mandibular movement. Therefore, functional adaptation after denture insertion is not directly related to functional changes, but to the quality of the dentures and to individual features.

Background: Immediate complete denture is one of the treatment options in patients requiring extraction. It plays a significant role in the immediate restoration of aesthetics and other oral functions. The dentures are fabricated before the extraction of all the remaining teeth and delivered immediately to the patient after the extraction.
Case: This presents a case of a patient with aggressive periodontitis managed with an immediate complete denture. The patient had reservations about conventional complete dentures due to concerns about being seen as edentulous while extraction sockets healed. The patient was satisfied with the simple and economical treatment modality of immediate complete denture.

Background: The scientific interest in dominant Candida species colonizing the surface of conventional and double-layer dentures (D-LCDs) is still topical. Numerous studies are comparing fungal colonization in both types of removable dentures. Aim: Performing a comparative analysis of the colonization of Candida spp. on the dentures surfaces of the conventional (CCDs) and the double-layer dentures (soft-lined) complete dentures (D-LCDs) over six months, placing them under the same intraoral in vivo conditions. Methods: For isolating Candida spp., specimens were obtained from inner denture surfaces using two sterile swabs, one for the upper complete denture (n=28) and one for the lower complete denture (n=28). The culture-based Candida detection method with CHROM agar was used to identify Candida species. Results: In the third month after dentures delivery C. Albicans is the predominant Candida spp. found on both types of complete dentures surface and isolated in 46 % of the patients with conventional complete dentures and 43 % with double-layer dentures (p>0.05). In the sixth month of the finished prosthetic treatment, combinations of C. Albicans and non-albicans Candida, predominantly C. Tropicalis, C. Glabrata and C. Parapsilosis, were found in 43 % of D-LCDs and 45 % of CCDs (p>0.05). Conclusion: There was no difference in colonization based on the different materials used for denture fabrication. However, there is a significant proportional change for all studied Candida spp. over the period (3-6 months after delivery), irrespective of the denture material used.

BACKGROUND: The introduction and evolution of CAD/CAM technology into complete dentures fabrication brought high expectations in improving disadvantages associated with conventional methods.AIM: The purpose of this review was to analyse the existing literature on computer-engineered complete dentures and to determine their advantages over the conventional dentures.MATERIAL AND METHODS: An electronic search of the English literature from January 1994 to March 2018 was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, using the following keywords: CAD/CAM complete dentures, computer-engineered complete dentures, complete digital dentures, complete milled dentures, and rapid prototyping dentures.RESULTS: A total of 179 English language titles were obtained from the database, and 14 were relevant to fulfil the purpose of this review. A review of 7 articles is summarized in 2 tables for presenting a comparison between CAD/CAM and conventional dentures in clinical and laboratory studies.CONCLUSION: Following the review of articles that discussed the comparison between CAD/CAM and conventional complete dentures in clinical studies, it can be concluded that the main advantages of CAD/CAM dentures are the reduced clinical chair time and the number of visits, digital archiving, significantly higher retention, and more favorable clinical and patient-centered outcomes. As a result of the review of laboratory studies, superior mechanical and physical properties in CAD/CAM dentures were revealed, concerning enhanced accuracy of fit of milled denture bases, less denture tooth movement and increased toughness, ultimate flexural strength, and higher elastic modulus.

Complete denture wearers often find it difficult to accept a new denture. Personality traits are among the factors that possibly affect patient satisfaction with a complete denture. Our aim was to investigate the influence of patients’ personality on satisfaction with their present denture and after an increase in the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD). Sixty edentulous patients with complete dentures (22 men and 38 women, mean age 66 years, and range 50–75 years) participated in the study. The age of their complete dentures ranged from 5 to 16 years. Patients’ personalities were evaluated using the Arabic version of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire. Their satisfaction with their dentures before and after restoration of the OVD and relining of the mandibular denture was evaluated using two questionnaires (I and II), Patients with a high score of neuroticism were less satisfied with their original dentures and after relining and an increase of OVD compared with patients with an average score in that trait. The personality trait of psychoticism was significant to patients’ acceptance of an increase in OVD; that is, patients with a high score were less satisfied with their dentures after increase of OVD than patients with an average score. It is concluded that personality traits affect patients’ acceptance of their complete dentures.

Removable acrylic complete dentures are a popular choice of treatment for the edentulous patient in Malaysia because of their cost and affordability. However, dissatisfaction among denture wearers with their complete denture is still very common. The goal of this study is to determine the level of satisfaction among patients who receive complete dentures from the IIUM Kuantan Dental Polyclinic, as well as the factors that impact their satisfaction. 42 edentulous patients wearing complete dentures made in International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) Kuantan dental Polyclinic for at least 3 months were included. These patients were interviewed over the phone in Malay or English language regarding their satisfaction towards the complete denture that they received on different parameters like retention, aesthetics, mastication, and phonetic using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) which uses a Likert scale of 0-4 (0= not satisfied at all; 1= not satisfied; 2=acceptable; 3=satisfied; 4=very satisfied) to express their satisfaction. The overall satisfaction comprises of 90.5% of the subjects are satisfied with their complete denture. The fitting of lower denture and mastication contributed to the highest percentage of dissatisfaction. The retention of lower denture contributed to most dissatisfaction of the patients and female patient are more concerned with aesthetic compared to male. As compared to patients who already have worn dentures previously, first-time denture wearers are more satisfied with the upper denture fitting. Three months of wearing duration influenced the successful or treatment. Majority of patients are satisfied with the dentures provided by student of Kulliyyah of Dentistry. However, the dissatisfaction of wearing the complete dentures is mainly because of lower denture is not fit and poor mastication.

Background: Denture adhesives are used to improve retention, stability, and efficiency of complete dentures. Proper use of denture adhesives has benefits for patients. Evaluating the effect of denture adhesives on efficiency of complete dentures in patients with different alveolar ridges among Kashmir population was the purpose of this study. Materials and Methods: This randomized clinical trials study was conducted on 40 patients who were wearing well fitted complete dentures. The patients were categorized intothree groups based on clinical and radiographic situations of residual ridges. Group I with mildresorption, Group II with moderate resorption, and Group III with severe resorption. The patients who had recently received their dentures and the primary complications had been resolved wereasked to use denture adhesive according to the instructions. The patients answered two differentquestioners in 1 week and 2 months of using denture adhesive. The answers were analyzed bymeans of variance and Chi square tests (P < 0.05). Results: Retention, chewing, talking, selfconfidence, and efficiency of dentures were improved in all patients. No statistical significant differences in these parameters were observed between thethree groups (P > 0.05). Increased retention and adaptation made 64.4% of these patients willing to continue using the adhesive after the study. Fortythree percent of patients reported moderatesatisfaction of using this adhesive. Conclusion: Using denture adhesive in well fitted complete dentures resulted in an improvement in retention, talking, chewing, ease of use, selfconfidence, and efficiency of dentures. The use of denture adhesive is, therefore, recommended to patients wearing dentures with some problems.

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 groups were divided into five groups, Group I: patients without dentures; Group II: patients rehabilitated with conventional acrylic dentures; Group III: patients with conventional acrylic dentures with rugae reproduction; Group IV: patients with dentures with metallic framework of minimal thickness and direct ragged metallic palatal surface at rugae area; Group V: patients with dentures with palatal rugae constructed from resilient acrylic resin material with thickness less than conventional denture. Speech samples were recorded after insertion of each denture for groups using Computerized Speech Lab (CSL) (spectrogram). The sounds selected were lingopalatal /s/z/sh/t/d/ and /l/.Results. Group III produced high mean significant difference with /sh/t/ sound. For Group IV, the difference was noticed with /s/z/sh/t/ and /d/ sounds, while for Group V the difference was shown with /z/l/ sound (P<0.05).Conclusion. It is recommended to reproduce the rugae area in complete denture because the phonetic quality of complete denture with rugae is superior to the conventional denture.

Full textAbstract:
The assessment and reestablishment of the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) are considered important factors in the treatment of complete denture wearers. The long-time use of a complete denture can result in jaw displacement due to abrasion of the artificial teeth and residual ridge resorption, causing esthetic complications. Most patients with old dentures and incorrect OVD accept reestablishment of the OVD with new complete dentures, even if they were used to their old dentures. The present clinical report describes a method of gradual reestablishment of OVD using a diagnostic acrylic splint on artificial teeth in old complete dentures before the manufacture of new complete dentures.Clinical Significance. The use of a reversible treatment for reestablishment of the OVD in old complete dentures with a diagnostic occlusal acrylic splint allows for the reestablishment of the intermaxillary relationship, providing physiological conditions of masticatory performance associated with the recovery of facial esthetics in edentulous patients.

ABSTRACT Personal identification is an indispensable requirement for forensic and medicolegal investigations or, in case of an accident, loss of memory, states of unconsciousness being inadvertently misplaced on admission to a hospital or in identifying bodies of those who have died in a calamity. Positive identification through labeled dentures plays a key role in the above-mentioned scenario. The importance of denture identification has long been accredited by the dental profession and various denture identification systems have been reported in the literature. This clinical report highlights a technique of denture identification wherein a used IOPA lead foil with patient details engraved is incorporated within the heat polymerized resin during the processing of the denture.

Full textAbstract:
Total dentures are made of acrylic resins and artificial teeth. Among the prevalent fracture types of the dentures, 29% was a mid-line fracture, in which 68% were observed in maxillary complete dentures and 28% in mandibular complete dentures. Due to the large number of failures recorded on the maxillary dentures, several studies were conducted to establish the causes that produce these failures but also to find solutions for their prevention. One source of information about the strength of a maxillary denture under the applied load, is represented by the establishment of the stress and strain state during the loading. Different methods have been used for investigating the strain or stress distribution during deformation of dentures. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the stress and strain state of a maxillary denture loaded in compression until the final fracture. For this study, electrical resistance strain gage were used for evaluation the strain and stress distribution in the maxillary denture made of different acrylic resins. Based on observations from practice, the strain gages were applied on the middle line of the denture at the base of the incisors and respectively on the sides of the denture, under molars. The dentures were loaded until failure and were registered the strains in the located strain gages. Also, for each type of acrylic resin were determined separately the mechanical properties of elasticity and strength. Based on the tests conducted were determined the critical stress and strain in the areas of interest. In all the tests carried out the fracture occurred in the median area of the denture and the crack was initiated between the incisor teeth. The stress and strain field associated with the crack initiation mode showed a strong influence of geometry on the fracture strength of denture. Also the type of acrylic resin has a significant effect on the fracture strength of complete denture either by strength capacity but especially by their ability to elasticity. Based on this analysis have been established new criteria for selection of acrylic resins, not only for aesthetic reasons but also for elasticity and strength reasons.

SummaryBackground/Aim: The successful outcome of conventional complete denture treatment can be defined with the use of both subjective and objective criteria. Denture satisfaction determinants may include denture quality, oral tissue condition, patient-dentist relationship, patient’s attitude toward dentures, patient’s personality and socioeconomic factors. Purpose: The aim of the current review was to identify and analyze the different construction protocols and occlusal schemes that contribute to the success of complete denture rehabilitation through the use of evaluation questionnaires.Material and Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed through electronic databases (MEDLINE via PubMed) using the appropriate key words (complete denture construction, complete denture fabrication, complete denture occlusion and complete denture occlusal scheme). The related to the subject scientific papers were selected and evaluated for eligibility utilizing a predefined review process (English, full text articles, published from January 2000 up to April 2017).Results: None of the analyzed studies identified significant differences between dentures constructed with simplified, CAD/CAM and traditional protocols in terms of general satisfaction and Oral Health Related Quality of Life scales. The same condition applied to the studies which compared complete dentures with bilateral balanced, lingualized, monoplane and canine guided occlusion.Conclusions: Current scientific evidence suggested that patients could adapt comfortably to any type of bilateral balanced occlusal scheme and to complete dentures been fabricated with all types of complete denture construction protocol. Disease-specific questionnaires could be considered valuable tools and should be used to assess the outcome of any treatment modality.

Background: The function of mastication, phonetic, and aesthetic of fully edentulous patient can be restored by complete denture treatment. The use of semi-adjustable articulator, suction effective impression method and neutral zone technique are important to enhanced a stable and retentive complete denture with good occlusion. Semi- adjustable articulator and suction effective method ensures the dentures constructed according to patient’s physiological movements and denture’s border seal captured according to patient’s anatomy. Neutral zone technique ensures the teeth arrangement in the space where the displacing forces of the lips tongue and cheeks are balanced. Those three approaches are expected to provide optimal prosthetic integration. Purpose: This case report aimed to describe the management of complete denture treatment in a resorbed mandibular with suction effective method and neutral zone technique using a semi-adjustable articulator. Case: A 67-year-old female patient wanted dentures because of all the mandibular teeth already extracted five months prior to the patient’s arrival. The mandibular posterior alveolar ridge showed dextral and sinistral tapering. Case Management: A complete denture with an acrylic base was fabricated with suction effective method and neutral zone technique using a semi-adjustable articulator. Conclusion: Resorbed mandibular ridge case management using a semi-adjustable articulator with suction effective method and neutral zone technique can improve complete denture retention and stability.

Full textAbstract:
Restoration of complete maxillary or mandibular adentia, despite the advances of dentistry nowadays, has always been and is still remaining one of the most challenging among the clinical issues of orthopedic dentistry. The effectiveness of a high-quality complete removable denture is largely predetermined by the properties of the denture base material. However, long experience in manufacturing the dentures has revealed a number of their disadvantages. The development of new denture base materials and their studies have been being carried out for many years. The aim of this work was to investigate the effectiveness of thermoplastic base material "Vertex ThermoSense" (Netherlands) and fluorine-containing acrylic plastic "Ftoraks" (Ukraine) used in manufacturing the dentures for edentulous patients who previously worn full removable dentures made of acrylic plastic over the past 3- 5 years. We examined and treated 43 patients with complete anodontia who went to the orthodontic clinic to order a new denture. We used fluorine-containing acrylic co-polymers "Ftorax" (Ukraine) and polyamide (nylon) "Vertex ThermoSense" (Netherlands), recommended by manufacturers for making removable dentures. We assessed the level subjective satisfaction with new dentures in different follow-up time intervals, checked the restoration of the chewing function in the patients using electromyographic techniques. Clinical findings obtained supported the superiority of Vertex ThermoSense thermoplastic material over fluorine-containing acrylic resins in terms of high functional quality and strength that facilitate the durability of these complete dentures. In addition, the denture base made of "Vertex ThermoSense" does not contain residual monomer, thereby preventing the occurrence of allergic reactions. The results of our work allow us to strongly recommend the material "Vertex ThermoSense" to implement into prosthodontic practice for manufacturing complete removable dentures.

An immediate denture is a temporary or permanent removable denture fabricated in the presence of natural teeth. Patients diagnosed with periodontitis are usually indicated for this type of dentures. Fabrication according to the specific protocol can enhance functional, phonetic, and aesthetic rehabilitation immediately after tooth extraction. Laboratory procedures have few specificities in comparison to conventional complete dentures, but the most important one is trimming the cast according to previously examined periodontal status. Following the production protocol, it is possible to provide functional, phonetic and aesthetic rehabilitation of the patient immediately after tooth extraction. In addition, it is possible to achieve proper remodeling of the residual alveolar ridge owing to the direct contact of the denture base with the extraction wound during the consolidation period. The aim of this paper is to present clinical and laboratory procedures in the process of making immediate complete denture.

Introduction: With the placement of dental implants in edentulous patients, creating and adapting immediate dentures is crucial to allow patients to perform basic physiological functions during the osseointegration period without affecting implant healing. This report presents a case of direct soft lining of immediate complete dentures following implant placement. Case Report: Six dental implants were inserted in the upper jaw, while the patient retained natural teeth in the lower jaw. An immediate complete denture was fabricated and adjusted for the upper jaw. The prosthesis base was prepared and processed to accommodate soft lining material. Adhesive was applied to the prepared base, followed by silicone application for soft fitting onto the prosthesis base, which was then inserted into the patient's mouth. After three minutes, the denture was removed, and soft lining treatment of the immediate complete denture was completed. Conclusion: Direct soft lining facilitated patient adaptation to the immediate prosthesis and supported safer healing and osseointegration until definitive work could be completed. The addition of a soft silicone layer reduced pressure on the residual alveolar ridge and improved adhesion of the immediate prosthesis.

Full textAbstract:
Patient experience has been acknowledged as a critical dimension of healthcare quality alongside patient safety and clinical effectiveness. However, patient experiences in complete removable denture wearing have not been well established qualitatively. The purpose of this review was to synthesize qualitative studies that investigated the experiences of people wearing removable dentures in order to gain a deeper understanding of the issues and their causes. Databases of PubMed, SCOPUS, and CINAHL were searched to assess articles published in English from 2010 to 2021 globally. Qualitative studies that reported on experiences of people wearing removable dentures were included. A total of ten studies were included. People who wear dentures expressed diversified experiences (both negative and positive), including physical, social, psychological processes, and affective responses. Furthermore, experiences were related to emotions, maintenance of dentures, hygiene, access to care, and cost. Those wearing implant retained dentures reported more positive experiences than those who wear conventional complete dentures. Denture wearing experiences is a complex phenomenon involving the patient in wholeness including their environment. Healthcare professionals should be considering a holistic approach when providing denture rehabilitation. There is a need to further explore denture wearing experiences using qualitative approaches, as understanding of patient experiences can inform and provide clear directions on quality improvement initiatives and health-care policy development.

There has been an increase in the incidence of complete edentulism among the elder patients. Complete dentures are the most common and preferred treatment of choice. Complete dentures help in masticatory function and restore the facial shape of the edentulous patients. Fabrication of the complete dentures is, therefore, a very important task for the clinician to ensure patient satisfaction. Errors may occur during the denture fabrication and these are called processing errors. It is a multifactorial process. The aim of the survey is to study the errors that occur during processing of a complete denture. It is a questionnaire based study conducted with a batch of 100 dental students. The questionnaire consisted of 16 questions focused on different fabrication techniques, timing, materials used, etc. by various students. The data collected was represented statistically and discussed. Dough technique was the most preferred method adopted by 39% of the students. Shorter curing cycles produced less defects, but majority of the students used longer cycles (41%). Most of them reported fractures (16%) and microporosities (11%) as defects. We can conclude that there are a few areas of error during the processing of dentures by the dental students. The incidence of these errors, however appears to be low. There is a scope for CAD/CAM complete dentures in the future to eliminate the possibilities of errors.

Background and objectives: determine the causes and types of complete denture fractures. Methods: The study was performed in the Hawler medical university, college of Dentistry Department of Prosthodontics. The number of fractured complete denture collected was 290 from patients aged 35-80 years of both genders. The (causes of denture fracture, the type of fracture and the history of previous recurrent fractures) were recorded. Results: : The main cause of denture fracture was poor fitting (40%), followed by poor occlusal relation (21%). Midline fracture was the commonest type of fracture (59%). From the study (51%) of the dentures had previously been repaired once or more. The ratio of lower to upper complete denture fractures was approximately 3:1; most of the fractured dentures (56%) were those of males. Conclusion: The causes of the fracture were divided into material factors and clinical/ technical factors. Denture fractures can be reduced by following prosthodontic principles, analyzing proper fit, eliminating occlusal interferences and using high impact polymers or metal reinforced.

This study assessed psychometric properties of the Bosnian language version the Oral Health Impact Profile for Edentulous Patients (OHIP-EDENT), translated from the original English language version of and evaluated the Oral Health-related Quality of Life, in complete denture wearers before and after corrections of dentures. Specialist of dental prosthetic interviewed 117 edentulous patients before and after interventions. All patients had problems with their existing complete acrylic resin dentures. During the first visit, the patients were examined by prosthodontic specialists, who registered the status of the existing acrylic complete dentures and described interventions needed to improve denture quality. The patients were interviewed, and they completed the OHIP-EDENT questionnaire. Each patient was re-examined by a prosthodontic specialist one month after the new complete acrylic dentures had been delivered. This study’s basic instrument was the Bosnian language version (B&H) OHIP-EDENT questionnaire. The questionnaire’s internal consistency was first assessed by Cronbach alpha coefficient, which was 0.80, and after correcting of dentures 0.76. Significantly lower scores were found in domains of functional limitation (p = 0.019), psychological discomfort (p = 0.010), physical pain (p = 0.003), and handicap (p = 0.041) after old denture corrections, as well as significantly better quality of life (reduced OHIP-EDENT Summary scores; p = 0.027). The student’s t test of the OHIP EDENT B&H general and group indexes regarding the patients’ conditions after denture interventions showed significant reduction of the general index (p = 0.02) along with reductions of functional limitations (p = 0.019), pain (p = 0.003), physical disabilities (p = 0.15), psychological disability (p = 0.002), and handicap (p = 0.002). The OHIP-EDENT B&H exposed good psychometric properties.

CAD/CAM technology is gaining popularity and replacing archaic conventional procedures for fabricating dentures. CAD/CAM supports using a digital workflow reduce the number of visits, chair time, and laboratory time, making it attractive to patients. This study aimed to provide a comparative review of complete dentures manufactured using CAD/CAM and conventional methods. The PubMed/Medline, Science Direct, Cochrane, and Google Scholar databases were searched for studies published in English within the last 11 years (from 2011 to 2021). The keywords used were “computer-engineered complete dentures”, “CAD/CAM complete dentures”, “computer-aided engineering complete dentures”, and “digital complete dentures”. The search yielded 102 articles. Eighteen relevant articles were included in this review. Overall, computer-engineered complete dentures have several advantages over conventional dentures. Patients reported greater satisfaction with computer-engineered complete dentures (CECDs) due to better fit, reduced chair time, shorter appointments, and fewer post-insertion visits. CAD/CAM allows for precision and reproducibility with fewer procedures compared to conventional dentures. Polymethyl methacrylate is used as the denture base material for conventional dentures. For CECDs, the resin can be modified and cross-linked to improve its mechanical properties. The advantages of CECDs include a reduced number of appointments, saving chairside time, a digital workflow allowing easy reproducibility and greater patient satisfaction with a better fit.

Different types of artificial teeth and occlusal designs can be used in complete dentures. Bilateral balanced occlusion, lingualized occlusion, canine guidance, and monoplane are the main occlusal designs; however there is no agreement on which tooth arrangement is ideal for achieving success in complete dentures. This report presents an alternative for persistent involuntary protruding complete denture wearers through the use of artificial teeth with higher cusps. Due to an old and worn pair of complete dentures, the patient had the habit of protruding. New dentures were made with Biotone artificial teeth and in the trial session, the patient would still protrude. A new set was made with Premium artificial teeth, which present higher cusps. With these dentures, the involuntary protrusion did not occur. From the delivery to the follow-up sessions, the patient stopped protruding.

Background: Oral mucosal lesions commonly develop in denture wearers and are abnormal changes in mucosal colour, texture, ulceration, edema and hyperplasia. They greatly affect the quality of a patient’s life as they have impact on swallowing, speech and mastication with symptoms of burning, pain and irritation. Aim: To find out prevalence, pattern and distribution of most commonly observed oral mucosal lesions in patients wearing removable dentures and their association with age, gender, denture age, nocturnal use and denture hygiene habits. Study design: A cross sectional; observational study Place and duration: Lahore Medical and Dental College from3rd April till3rd July 2021. Methodology: Hundred partially and completely edentulous patients of both genders were included in the study. The age ranged of the patients was between 30 to 80 years. It was a cross sectional observational study. Non probability purposive sampling was used to select the patients. Patient wearing complete or partial dentures in both arches or single arch for at least three months were included. The clinical examination was carried out and depending on clinical appearance of mucosa the diagnosis of denture induced mucosal lesions was made i.e., denture stomatitis, traumatic ulcers and hyperplasia Results: Out of 100 patients 40.0% had no mucosal lesions associated with dentures whereas 60% patients presented with lesions. Out of all the lesions the most frequently reported lesion was the traumatic ulcer 45%, followed by denture induced hyperplasia 10%. Denture stomatitis was 3% and angular cheilitis was least reported in our patients 2%. 36% patients clean their dentures regularly and 64% patients do not clean their dentures or being irregular, Night wearing of the prosthesis was found in 54% patients whereas 46% never wore dentures while sleeping. Conclusion: The prevalence of oral mucosal lesions with complete or partial removable dentures were 60% reported in our patients and traumatic ulcers were the frequently observed lesion. Furthermore, significant association of all lesions with factors like patient’s age, duration of denture use, nocturnal wearing and denture hygiene was found.

Background: Hygiene of the complete dentures is closely related to the oral and general health status of patients. Different factors can impact hygiene habits of complete denture wearers.There not agreement of opinion about the most significant subjective factor. The aim of this research was to study the hygiene habits of the complete denture wearers and the influence of some factors as age, sex and education over patients behaviour. Material and Method: Subjects of observation in the study were 110 (48 men and 62 women) complete dentures wearers, aged 52 to 84. Questionnaire and information leaflet were created. The questionnaire contained 16 questions concerning the manners for hygiene maintenance of dentures and oral cavity, the sources of the information about the hygiene care and the score of the leaflet by the patient. Results: Washing dentures with water, soap and toothbrush was reported as preferred method for cleaning (32.73%).42.73% of participants were not provided with information about hygiene care for dentures. Significant correlation was established between patients education and: method for hygiene maintenance of the dentures (r = 0.5754) hygiene care of the oral cavity (r = 0.6395) use of additional means for disinfection of dentures (r = 0.6489). Conclusion: Within the range of this study we could conclude that the education is the more significant factor that impacts patients hygiene habits. The age is not determinative factor, whereas the sex of patients can impact their choice of methods and the frequency of hygiene procedures.

Background/Aim. Tooth loss affects oral health-related life quality. More than a third of edentulous patients are not fully satisfied with their complete dentures and mainly complain of insufficient stability, retention, and pain during mastication. Solving the problem may include relining by materials that are based on silicone or acrylic. The aim of this study was to determine the level of patients? satisfaction before and after relining upper dentures with soft and rigid liners. Methods. The patients (n = 24) were divided into two study groups. Maxillary denture relining of the first group of patients was performed with hard acrylic based resins while in the second group of patients complete denture was relined with a silicone-based soft liner. They were asked the questions from the specifically adapted the Oral Health Impact Profile Questionnaire for edentulous patients before and three months after relining dentures. Results. After relining the patients showed a higher degree of satisfaction with their dentures in all the tested domains (masticatory function, psychological discomfort, social disability and retention and hygiene). The patients with soft denture relines were more satisfied. Conclusion. Relining of maxillary complete dentures significantly positively impacts the quality of life of patients in all the tested domains (masticatory function, psychological discomfort, social disability, pain and oral hygiene). Better results were achieved using a silicone-based soft liner, which recommends it as the material of choice for relining dentures.
