Faults in dental restorations and prostheses is referred to as iatrogenic factors are common causes of gingival inflammation & periodontal destruction. These factors can easily be prevented by careful examination and proper treatment planning of the case. This report describes a case of poorly designed and cemented fixed partial denture ( FPD) & leading to osseous defect. The management include...

Introduction Tissue conditioners are used for conditioning of denture-bearing inflamed mucosa by ill-fitting dentures prior to fabricating new dentures, for relining the existing dentures, and for provisional relining of immediate dentures and ill-fitting dentures [1-2]. Tissue conditioners have also been used as functional impression materials [1-3]. Their efficacy as functional impression mat...

Fabricating an immediate complete denture can be very challenging in some clinical situations. This report describes a digital workflow to fabricate printed maxillary for patient with severely compromised maxilla. Digital data obtained by using intraoral scanner was utilized reconstruct the three-dimensional (3D) image of jaws at desirable vertical dimension occlusion. After performing virtual ...

Introduction Oral rehabilitation of edentulous maxilla is particularly difficult because of the lack of bone in correspondence of maxillary sinuses. Therefore, the surgeon is forced to place implants in sites where bone is more prevalent. In addition, patients require more frequently oral immediate rehabilitation in order to reduce the discomfort related to wearing a total denture. A viable sol...

BACKGROUND Over the years, there has been a strong consensus in dentistry that at least two implants are required to retain a complete mandibular denture. It has been shown in several clinical trials that one single median implant can retain a mandibular overdenture sufficiently well for up to 5 years without implant failures, when delayed loading was used. However, other trials have reported c...

Figure 1. Fractured maxillary metal-resin fixed complete-arch implantsupported prosthesis. Patient had been treated by another provider and did not have interim or conversion prosthesis. Complete-arch fixed implant-supported prostheses are known to be an excellent solution for edentulism. Although new, stronger materials have evolved, the metal-resin prosthesis using a combination of cast or mi...

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...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the effect of chemical polishing on the internal adaptation of complete denture bases fabricated with Veracril® resin and polymerized by either the conventional (C) or microwave (M) techniques. MATERIAL AND METHODS Six groups (n=6/group) were tested: 1) C + no polishing (CO); 2) C + chemical polishing (CQ); 3) C + immersion in hot water at 75ºC (CW); 4) M + no p...
