The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of degradation of a denture base resin on bond strength to relining resins. Denture base resin specimens were immersed under various conditions to simulate degradation. Tensile bond strength of denture base resin after immersion to relining resins was measured with or without surface grinding. The bond strength of denture base resin without g...

Crossliked plastic denture teeth have been used clinicaly in order to improve the poor wear resistance of conventional acrylic denture teeth. We suggest that highly crosslinked denture teeth are possibly disadvantaged compared with conventional ones, when considering the adhesion to denture base and impact resistance. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact resistance of crosslinked...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of denture microwave disinfection and antifungal therapy on treatment of denture stomatitis. STUDY DESIGN Sixty denture wearers with denture stomatitis (3 groups; n = 20 each), were treated with nystatin or denture microwave disinfection (1 or 3 times/wk) for 14 days. Mycologic samples from palates and dentures were quantified a...

A total of 222 patients were studied. In a questionnaire patients graded their complete dentures of different age and quality, depending on the level of satisfaction, using the modified analogue-visual scale from 1 to 5. The dentist assessed the same dentures, as well as the denture bearing area. The patients' assessments were surprisingly high, the grades were bigger than the therapist's (p < ...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the efficacy of NitrAdine ™-based disinfecting cleaning tablets for complete denture, in terms of denture biofilm removal and antimicrobial action. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty complete denture wearers (14 men and 26 women) with a mean age of 62.3 ± 9.0 years were randomly assigned to two groups and were instructed to clean their dentures according to two methods:...

conclusions the results of the current study suggest that long term use of dentures can cause a wide range of candida species colonization, resulting angular cheilitis. there was a need for an oral manifestation management-based strategy focusing on clinical and preventative treatment. angular cheilitis can be prevented by changing and replacing a new denture to modify the face vertical dimensi...

BACKGROUND It is acknowledged that oral and general health status declines with age. The global population of denture wearers is increasing, so is the incidence of denture biofilm-related problems, such as denture-associated stomatitis, aspiration pneumonia and malodour. It has been suggested that consumption of probiotic bacteria may improve oral health. However, the effects of probiotics on t...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Since increasing the proportion of elderly in the world, so oral lesions related to removable denture-wearing are an important issue. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of denture-related oral mucosal lesions (DMLs) in removable denture wearers referred to clinics of Kerman, Iran.METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 350 removable denture wea...
