BACKGROUND Removable dentures are subject to plaque and/or staining problems. Denture hygiene habits and risk factors differ among countries and regions. The aims of this study were to assess hygiene habits and denture plaque and staining risk factors in Chinese removable denture wearers aged >40 years in Xi'an through multiple logistic regression analysis (MLRA). METHODS Questionnaires were ...

Introduction: Detachment of denture teeth from denture base is one of the most common reasons for costly denture repairs .This study aimed at evaluating the bond strength of an acrylic denture tooth to polyamide injection-molded thermoplastic denture base material compared with three conventional polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) denture base resins. Materials and Method: A total of 40 acrylic dent...

The underlying causes of denture stomatitis may be related to the long-term use of adhesives, which may predispose individuals to oral candidiasis. In this study, we hypothesize that antimicrobial peptides and antifungal antibiotics have diminished anti-Candida activities in denture adhesive. To show this, nine antimicrobial peptides and five antifungal antibiotics with and without 1.0% denture...

PATIENT A 62-year-old man complained of discomfort during insertion of lower removable partial denture (RPD). Existing denture was highly objectionable to tongue and intolerable to wear due to volume and contour of its lingual aspect. The treatment plan included fabrication of an interim denture and altering its shape until it did not lead to discomfort, followed by fabrication of a final dentu...

background: the objectives of this study were to evaluate the prevalence of edentulousness, patient's perception on dietary changes resulting from tooth loss and to identify the disparity between actual and patient perceived need to replace missing teeth in an elderly rural population in south india. methods: a cross sectional study using the systematic cluster sampling method was used to selec...

This article describes a unique prosthetically driven protocol that uses computeraided engineering to develop sophisticated, scientific algorithms that guide the fabrication of a conversion denture using the AvaDent Digital Denture system (Global Dental Science). This system is combined with Nobel Clinician (Nobel Biocare) implant-planning software to optimize accuracy and to make it easier and...

Liquid supported denture can be a permanent solution in edentulous patients with atrophied ridge. A complete denture is designed so that the base is covered with a pre-shaped, close fitting flexible foil containing a thin film of high viscosity liquid. Liquid-supported dentures will have optimal stress distribution during masticatory function. It will act as a continuous reliner for the denture...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the initial viscosity and adhesive strength of commercial denture adhesives and oral moisturizers. Materials and Methods: Four cream-type denture adhesives, one gel-type denture adhesive and three gel-type oral moisturizers were used in the study. The initial viscosity was measured using a controlled-stress CarriMed CSL500 rheometer. The adhes...
