Denture stomatitis is an ordinaty disease among pacients that use removable dentures. These caracterized by hiperemia, edema and moderate to intense inflamation. The etiology of denture has many causes, but it a direct relationship with the total denture. Of nine pacients, four them had their dentures exchanged five removed at night for desinfection using 1% hipoclorite solution. Both treatment...

Denture-induced stomatitis in children was studied microbiologically. Quantitative cultural studies on Candida and bacteria were done in 17 denture wearers with or without palatal denture-induced stomatitis (erythema score 0-3) and in 16 healthy nondenture wearers. It was found that significantly higher numbers of Candida both in denture plaque and in saliva were cultured from the denture weare...

The prosthodontist encounters increasing problems in the fabrication of a well functioning complete denture over a resorbed edentulous ridge. The objective of this study was to clinically evaluate the efficacy of the soft acrylic denture compared to conventional one when used to restore a severely resorbed ridge. Both quantitative and qualitative parameters were assessed. Quantitative parameter...

Denture plaque has been shown to be responsible for a variety of soft tissue changes in many denture wearers. Proper routine cleaning of tissue surface of denture is essential to maintain healthy supporting tissue. The purpose of this study was to quantify and compare the effectiveness of common cleaning agents and toothpaste in the removal of denture plaque from the tissue surface of the maxil...

The aims of this study were to evaluate the incidence of mutans streptococci (MS - sessile form) on complete maxillary dentures after use of a specific denture paste, and to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and maximum inhibitory dilution (MID) of 3 oral mouthrinses: Cepacol, Plax and Periogard. Seventy-seven complete denture wearers were randomly assigned into 2 groups, acc...

PURPOSE This study investigated the effect of laser parameters and air-abrasion on the peel strength of silicon-based soft denture liner to different denture resins. MATERIALS AND METHODS Specimens (N=180) were prepared out of three different denture base resins (Rodex, cross-linked denture base acrylic resin; Paladent, heat-cured acrylic resin; Deflex, Polyamide resin) (75 mm × 25 mm × 3 mm)...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Most processed resin denture bases do not fit the cast accurately because of polymerization changes in the resin. The fit is more noticeable in the palate between the denture base and the cast. Therefore, development of a polymerization system that will improve the fit of a denture base to the cast is lack of worth considering to improve the fit and retention of the denture...

Denture marking is accepted as a means of identifying dentures and persons in geriatric institutions, during war, crimes, and civil unrest, natural and mass disasters, post mortem and medico-legal investigations. This paper reviews the various methods of denture marking and highlights the significance of placing identification marks on dentures. Various methods have been proposed for denture ma...
