An abnormally small oral orifice is defined as microstomia. Microstomia may result from epidermolysis bullosa (EB), which consists of a group of disorders characterized by the presence of mechanical fragility of the skin with recurrent de-velopment of blisters and vesicles, resulting from minor mechanical friction or trauma. Since such patients have a small oral aperture, it may be impossible t...

The techniques used by Earl Pound for denture construction are stated, and their application to contemporary denture construction and implant-based prosthodontics is discussed. Positioning the anterior teeth using the mandibular movements of speech, the use of lingualized occlusion, and the fabrication of diagnostic provisional removable complete dentures--all hallmarks of the Pound technique--...

Loss of variable amount soft and hard tissueis often an inevitable consequence missing teeth.Prosthetic rehabilitation large anterior alveolar ridge defects is a challenge to the clinician.1 Such require not just replacement teeth, but also closure defective area so as achieve proper speech aesthetics. Fixed removable partial dentures are indicated for patients with extensive tissue loss when a...

13 14 space and potential denture space. It is impossible to construct a denture where the perfect, absolute equilibrium exists and no displacement occurs. The aim of the neutral zone technique is to construct a denture which is in harmony with its surroundings and provides optimum stability, Abstract The coordination of complete dentures with neuromuscular function is the foundation of success...

Dental foreign body aspiration is a known complication in patients with maxillofacial trauma. Although diagnosis may be delayed, especially in elderly people with radiolucent dental appliances, clinician must be aware of dental tracheobronchial aspiration to minimize potentially serious consequences. We present a 50-year-old man with three months history of progressive dyspnea due to foreign bo...

The need for repairing a removable partial denture occasionally arises in clinical practice. The common causes for repair of removal partial denture include tissue changes of the residual ridge, breakage or distortion of denture components and complications that arise in the remaining teeth. Distal extension partial dentures are particularly affected as the tissue-base relationship changes over...

BACKGROUND One of the most confusing and difficult aspects of complete denture prosthodontics is the selection of appropriately sized maxillary anterior denture teeth. Various guidelines have been suggested for determining the size of anterior teeth, but different opinions have been reported regarding their significance. In the study reported here, the relationships between facial measurements ...
