OBJECTIVE To correlate different laboratory wear simulation protocols for three denture tooth materials with clinical wear results of the same materials. METHODS Three denture tooth materials were evaluated for which clinical wear data of posterior denture teeth were available: DCL (double cross-linked PMMA with organic fillers; Ivoclar Vivadent), experimental material EM (double cross-linked...

The success of denture treatment depends on the preservation remaining alveolar ridge.

Figure 1. Fractured maxillary metal-resin fixed complete-arch implantsupported prosthesis. Patient had been treated by another provider and did not have interim or conversion prosthesis. Complete-arch fixed implant-supported prostheses are known to be an excellent solution for edentulism. Although new, stronger materials have evolved, the metal-resin prosthesis using a combination of cast or mi...

Present study aimed to improve the bond strength of denture teeth acrylic resin base by chemical or mechanical modification on bonding surface teeth. Total 40 artificial central incisors and lateral were divided into five groups: group I, 8 samples without (control group); II, (bonding treated with monomer); III, monomer glaze layer removed aluminum oxide stone bur); IV, acetone); V, (acetone a...

PURPOSE In this 10-year longitudinal study we evaluated the amount of mandibular residual ridge resorption for 2 groups of subjects with complete dentures, one group with porcelain artificial teeth and the other with acrylic resin teeth. METHODS One hundred and nine patients who had undergone ridge extension procedures with skin graft and prosthetic rehabilitation with porcelain or acrylic re...

PURPOSE The low masticatory efficiency of denture prostheses impairs the ability of wearers to consume high-fiber foods. Hence, artificial teeth with high masticatory efficiency are required. This study aimed to establish an occlusal surface design for posterior artificial teeth in denture prostheses that is compatible with the existing artificial teeth arrangement and that has high masticatory...

PURPOSE It is important to know whether tooth loss has an impact on an individual's quality of life, since tooth loss is common. The aim of this study was to determine whether oral status is associated with general health and related to quality of life. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data of 1,406 subjects aged 60 to 79 years were taken from the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP). Sociodemographic (a...

Replacement of missing teeth has become a successful option ever since the discovery of Osseointegration and introduction of implants in the dental field. It has proved to be a therapeutic breakthrough especially for edentulous people. Implants supported over dentures are becoming the first choice of treatment for edentulous patients as they provide various advantages over the conventional dent...

Background and Aim: Different attachment designs have been developed to connect implant to natural teeth in partial dentures; however, adequate studies have not been performed to determine stress distribution patterns in these designs. The present study aimed to assess stress distribution patterns in natural tooth and implant supported removable partial denture with different attachment designs...
