Background: Although most of the physical and mechanical properties of denture base resin polymerized by the conventional heat polymerization have been studied, the effect of autoclave processing in these properties has not been fully determined. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of two different cycles of autoclave processing on the transverse strength, impact strength,...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Candida species are believed to play an important role in initiation and progression of denture stomatitis. The type of the denture material also influences the adhesion of candida and development of stomatitis. PURPOSE The aim of this study was comparing the adherence of candida albicans to the conventional and injection molding acrylic denture base materials. MATE...

conclusions it was observed that the success and survival rate of maxillary molar immediate implant was relatively high and similar to those of conventional delayed implants. results immediate implants were most frequently used for incisor and premolar sites and there is very little data available on immediate implantation in the molar area. in this research, we reviewed all the existing papers...

Purpose: This study investigates the effect of two different attachment size in the single implant retained over denture on the muscle activity. Materials and Methods: Twenty completely edentulous patients were selected for the study with normal ridge size and divided into two groups. In all patients single implant was placed at the area of midline after cone beam taken. Three months later low ...

Restoration of totally edentulous patients with removable prosthesis designs that incorporate osseointegrated implants provides the patient with alternatives to mucosa-supported complete denture [1]. A highly predictable and effective approach is the implant-supported overdenture, which offers improved retention, stability, function, proprioception, and comfort [2,3]. Compared with complete den...
