background: the second processing cycle for adding the artificial teeth to heat-polymerized acrylic resin denture bases may result in dimensional changes of the denture bases. the aim of thisstudy was to evaluate the dimensional changes of the heat-polymerized acrylic resin denture bases with one and two-cycle processing methods. materials and methods: a metal edentulous maxillary arch was used...

Excess denture movement during function may cause to jeopardize the resorption of the residual ridges and the mechanical trauma on the abutments in the partially dentate mouth. A removable partial denture (R.P.D.'s) should be so constructed that the artificial teeth on the denture base will be stabilized in their spatial position by way of the compensatory support due to the remaining abutments...

Aim: To find out the effect of monomer application for different time periods on tensile bond strength heat cured denture base resin and acrylic teeth. Methodology: Ninety specimens were fabricated as per ADA standards No 15 divided into 3 groups through purposive sampling technique. In Group 1 was applied teeth just before material packed. 2 10 seconds in 60 seconds. Universal testing machine ...

Distal extension removable partial denture (RPD) can cause stress on supporting hard tissues, which may lead to harmful effects. The purpose of this study is to investigate the pattern of these stresses over the residual alveolar ridge and alveolar bone around the abutment teeth by distal extension conical crown retained te lescop ic dentures (CCRTDs) with different taper angles using three dim...

Periodontal disease is an inflammatory response to the bacterial biofilm which leads inflammation of periodontal structures and further results in loss attachment bone severe cases mobility teeth, eventually may cause exfoliation teeth. Treatment option for excessive mobile teeth extraction replacement can be carried out with fixed partial denture or implant placement. In patients financial con...

The histologic response of the periodontal tissues of teeth rigidly joined to implants with a fixed partial denture was evaluated using light microscopy. The fourth premolar of a dog was connected to implants placed in the first and second premolar position with a fixed partial denture. The restored teeth were under function for periods of 6, 12, 18, and 24 months, with unrestored fourth premol...

A dramatic increase in the number of people living in their seventies, eighties and nineties is associated with a loss of teeth and the use of mobile dentures. The aim of this paper was to highlight the consequences of poor denture hygiene on oral and general health in vulnerable elderly people, in long-term hospitalized elderly patients and in long-term institutionalized elderly in nursing hom...

PATIENT This report describes the case of a 68 year old female patient who presented with the chief complaint of difficulty in chewing and poor aesthetics due to missing teeth. The patient was interested in saving the remaining natural teeth and desired minimal tissue coverage from the prosthesis. After consideration of all the factors involved, it was deemed advisable to resort to a palate fre...

AIM To achieve retention in severely resorbed mandibular ridges during impression making and to maintain the retention and stability of these dentures during function. BACKGROUND No good method with adequate clinical photographs that will empower the dentist with the necessary skill has been reported in the literature. TECHNIQUE The technique involves making a preliminary impression in algi...

This article describes the use of an all ceramic resin-bonded fixed partial denture as a conservative solution for the replacement of an incisor. It is a minimally invasive technique that does not discolor the abutment teeth.
