 Eight completely edentulous patients were selected. A inserted at symphysis left to osseointergrate. During osseointegration period fabricated inserted. Retention measured insertion 3 months servic...

The amount of strain in functioning dentures (and the resultant tissue distortion) caused by using various posterior teeth of different occlusal configurations has not been satisfactorily investigated. In an attempt to determine which occlusal form produces the greater overall strain and the greater strain per unit pressure applied, interchangeable posterior teeth (zero degree and anatomic) a w...

Denture labelling is gaining popularity in geriatric patients particularly for those staying alone or old age home, especially the ones suffering from dementia physical vulnerability. Various methods of denture have been proposed by prosthodontists over years. Prosthodontists are playing an important role forensic odontology nowadays. This article highlights a method identification marking wher...

BACKGROUND The condition of the denture bearing tissues may be adversely affected by high stress concentration during function. Chairside Denture (Hard and Soft) reliners are used to distribute forces applied to soft tissues during function. Tensile and shear bond strength has been shown to be dependent on their chemical composition. A weak bond could harbor bacteria, promote staining and delam...

A 55-year-old woman accidentally ingested a denture, and it did not pass per anus after 4 days. Her local doctor followed her for 15 days, but the denture did not pass, and she was referred to our institution. She did not complain of any abdominal symptoms, and laboratory data did not show any abnormal findings. Abdominal radiograph (▶Fig. 1) and computed tomography scan showed a denture lodged...

One of the most commonly faced problems among long term denture wearers is the reduction in the denture foundation. Prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient with severely resorbed ridge is the most challenging therapy a Prosthodontics can undertake 1. The neutral zone technique provides muscular harmony over the denture stability 2 . The main aim of the neutral zone technique is to construct dent...

Nylon denture base material (Lucitone FRS) was studied for its mechanical properties. The study confirmed that flexible denture base material has lower values in terms of hardness.

Many people ignore their oral hygiene and do not use denture after extraction. This may caused by their thinking pattern. Thinking pattern indicates the degree of comprehension to solve a problem. This research aims to find out the thinking pattern of first year students towards edentulous replacement. The questionnaire was filled in by students. The oral cavity state of students who have edent...

Harold Vernon first introduced acrylic polymers as denture base materials in 1937. A survey showed that 33% of denture repairs were to restore debonded teeth.1 Factors that affect the bonding of acrylic resin teeth to the denture base are dewaxing procedures, residual wax on ridge laps of teeth,2 and careless application separating media like sodium alginate to the teeth, leading to contaminati...
