It is a denture type micro electric field loading device design. The device is a removable partial denture, and there are a power supply and the electrode plate in the denture. The electrode plate embedded in the denture base, electrode embedded in the buccal and lingual base, between the base and the artificial teeth is the power supply, the power supply and both sides electrodes connected by ...

PURPOSE Denture survival, or the time between the date of a denture's insertion and the date of its renewal for any clinical reason, was assessed in this retrospective study on 353 complete dentures. The procedures required to prolong the useful time of the study sample-relines, repair of denture base fractures, or replacement of lost artificial teeth-were also evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHOD...

Case description: An institutionalized 78-year-old man with an extremely damage broken maxillary denture complained about repairing his denture. With the impossibility of repairing, the technique described was proposed so as to offer a treatment that would maximize the comfort of the patient. The maxilla-mandibular relationship was done at the first clinical session, after fabricating the maxil...

The effect of different beverages on acrylic resin denture teeth color degradation is evaluated. Ten acrylic resin denture teeth brands were evaluated: Art Plus (AP), Biolux (BX), Biotone IPN (BI), Magister (MG), Mondial 6 (MD), Premium 6 (PR), SR Vivodent PE (SR), Trilux (TR), Trubyte Biotone (TB), and Vipi Dent Plus (VP). Teeth were immersed in staining solutions (coffee, cola, and orange jui...

Introduction: Detachment of denture teeth from denture base is one of the most common reasons for costly denture repairs .This study aimed at evaluating the bond strength of an acrylic denture tooth to polyamide injection-molded thermoplastic denture base material compared with three conventional polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) denture base resins. Materials and Method: A total of 40 acrylic dent...

Fungi belonging to Candida genus, especially C. albicans play an important role in microflora of oral cavity. Microbial colonisation process taking place within oral cavity is inseparably related to formation of multispecies biofilm, i.e. dental and denture plaque. A mature fungal biofilm is a heterogeneous three-dimensional dense conglomeration of mixture of different morphological forms: blas...

The wear resistance of denture teeth is important for the longevity of removable prostheses of edentulous patients. The ability of denture teeth to maintain maximum intercuspation at centric jaw relation position, masticatory efficiency, the occlusal vertical dimension, and occlusal stability over time may be influenced by this property. Inferior wear resistance of acrylic resin artificial teet...

AIM To evaluate the effect of successive cycles of disinfection in different denture cleansers on the surface roughness and the Vickers hardness of two layers of acrylic resin (base-BL and enamel-EL) of two commercial cross-linked artificial teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS The occlusal surfaces of 60 acrylic resin denture posterior teeth (Trilux-TLX and SR Orthosit PE-SRO) embedded in autopolyme...

Polyacetal resin is well known material in medical field for various applications such as for artificial heart valves and artificial hip joints. In dentistry the material among its other applications, is used for removable partial dentures. The article presents rehabilitation of a patient with maxillary defect using polyacetal resin obturator prostheses. The patient was rehabilitated 5 years ag...
