OBJECTIVES In some clinical situations, dentists come across partially edentulous patients, and it might be necessary to connect teeth to implants. The aim of this study was to evaluate a metal-ceramic fixed tooth/implant-supported denture with a straight segment, located in the posterior region of the maxilla, when varying the number of teeth used as abutments. MATERIAL AND METHODS A three-e...

ABSTRAK Pendahuluan: Gigi artifisial resin akrilik adalah pengganti gigi asli yang telah hilang dan merupakan komponen terpenting dari tiruan dalam memulihkan fungsi estetis, mastikasi fonetik. Pembersih berbahan kimia dapat memengaruhi sifat mekanis fisik akrilik. alami digunakan sebagai alternatif untuk meminimalkan efek ditimbulkan oleh pembersih kimia. Ekstrak daun kemangi 12,5% bahan tirua...

Purpose: In spite of chemical union between acrylic resin teeth and denture base material, detachment particularly anterior is a frequent observation. The purpose this study was to evaluate shear bond strength after incorporating various grooves on the ridge lap area. Materials & Methods: A total 60 samples were prepared divided into two groups with 30 each. Sample in group I processed conv...

This study explored a method for fabricating removable complete denture aided by CAD&RP technology. 3D crossing section scanner and laser scanner were respectively applied to obtain the surface data of artificial teeth, edentulous models and rims made in clinic. The vertical and horizontal relations of models were recorded before scanning with a special device. A 3D graphic database of artifici...

PATIENT A 39-year-old female patient was admitted with mobility of maxillary anterior fixed partial denture. She was diagnosed as severe chronic periodontitis of abutment teeth of the denture, left alveolus cleft, and anterior/posterior crossbites. The crossbites were improved by prosthetic approach using an implant-supported fixed partial denture with a removable gingival veneer at the anterio...

INTRODUCTION Ever since the introduction of the minimal preparation fixed partial dentures, the major concern of the clinicians has been its longevity. AIMS AND OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to compare the clinical performance of resin bonded cantilever bridges with conventional cantilever bridges for a period of 1 year and to evaluate the periodontal changes of abutment te...

Objective: To compare differences in caries and periodontal scores between removable partial denture wearers and non wearers; abutment with non-abutment teeth in the wearers and wearers with “satisfactory” to those with “unsatisfactory” dentures. Methods: Ninety-six partially dentate patients were included in this study. Teeth were examined for caries and periodontal diseases. Removable partial...

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 ...

Background and Objectives: Acrylic resin had a long history of been used in the fabrication denture since they exhibit better chemical bond between teeth base. With increasing use dentures, detachment from dentures also increased proportionally. Denture disinfection is an essential procedure for maintaining good hygiene denture. The aim study to evaluate effect on shear strength heat activated ...
