The mucosa that covers the residual ridges of edentulous patients may present some distortion or displacement when occlusal loading is applied in complete dentures. This distortion and movement of the denture can result in acceleration of residual ridge resorption and loss of retention and stability. The aim of this study was to analyze the pattern of upper complete denture movement related to ...

introdouction: the aim of this study was to compare the ratios of the mesiodistal width of the upper and lower central incisors between natural teeth and those produced artificially by ideal makoo, ivoclar, and vitapan, in iran. materials and methods: the mesiodistal width of the upper and lower central incisors was measured in 120 students, using calipers placed at the height of contour of the...

Aim: To compare the chewing process and swallowing threshold parameters of subjects with complete dentures and overdentures with data obtained from subjects with complete natural dentitions. Methodology: The chewing process in terms of swallowing threshold parameters of four groups of subjects with complete dentures (all females) was quantified by sieving particles after chewing of an artificia...

denture stomatotos os a common problem of the denture wears, and it's etiology is not clear from the literatures. some studies show that the aetiology is candida albicans, while other reports point out the other agents including candida albicans. the present study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of oral candidiasis in patients using complete denture with different datas. 50 subject...

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...

The efficacy of 2 oral hygiene products, an experimental toothpaste specific for complete denture cleansing and a regular standard toothpaste, was compared in terms of denture biofilm removal and cure of palatal lesions in patients with atrophic chronic candidiasis. The degree of correlation between presence of biofilm and mucosa erythema was also evaluated. Twenty-four complete denture wearers...
