Complete dentures fabrication conventionally requires 4 to 5 visits to the clinic. It will be sometimes very demanding for aged patients and also for the dentist. Here, in this article, technique of complete denture construction in one day for an old denture wearer is described. Wherein the old denture is used as special tray and also as record base. Secondary impression with border moulding an...

PURPOSE Denture survival, or the time between the date of a denture's insertion and the date of its renewal for any clinical reason, was assessed in this retrospective study on 353 complete dentures. The procedures required to prolong the useful time of the study sample-relines, repair of denture base fractures, or replacement of lost artificial teeth-were also evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHOD...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Poor wettability of denture relining materials may lead to retention problems and patient discomfort. PURPOSE Purpose of this study is to compare and evaluate wettability of nine denture relining materials using contact angle measurements under air and water storage over time. MATERIAL AND METHODS Nine denture relining materials were investigated in this study. Two heat...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate whether there is any typical deformation pattern existing in complete denture when it was dried by using the 3D scanner and surface matching program. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 28 denture bases were fabricated with heat curing acrylic resin (each 14 upper and lower denture bases), and 14 denture bases (each 7 upper and lower denture bases) w...

AIM To examine the oral mucosa under the denture base and to determine the influence of local factors that contribute to denture stomatitis. METHODS In this prospective, case control study 30 patients with palatal inflammatory lesions were evaluated. A degree of palatal inflammation was scored. Swab samples were taken from tongue and palatal mucosa for microbiological examination. Denture pla...

BACKGROUND The impact strength of denture base resin is of great concern and many approaches have been made to strengthen acrylic resin dentures. The objective of this study was to compare the impact strength of the denture base resin with and without reinforcement and to evaluate the impact strength of denture base resin when reinforced with stainless steel mesh, glass fiber, and polyethylene ...

Statement of problem. Acrylic resin is most commonly used for denture bases. However, acrylic resin has week points of volumetric shrinkage during polymerization that reduces denture fit. The expandability of POSS (Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane) containing polymer could be expected to reduce the polymerization shrinkage of denture bases and would increase the adaptability of the denture ...
