Denture stomatitis is the most common oral disorder found in denture wearers. It is usually associated with presence of Candida albicans infection. The study was carried out of (70) denture wearers to determine the effect of local predisposing factors, the oral and denture hygiene habits, age of denture and age of denture wearers and degree of Candida colonization on the denture surface to deve...

A lveolectomy has been defined as “the surgical removal of a portion of the alveolar process.“7 Alveoloplmty is a newer and better term, for, technically, alveolectomy would have us cut off the entire alveolus. ThornaG has stated that some form of alveoloplasty is indicated in nearly every instance of multiple extractions and frequently even in single extractions. Alveoloplasty, whether simple ...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of silicone remover on tensile bond strength of eight silicone-resilient denture liners to a denture base resin. Durability of bond strength of resilient denture liner to denture base resin was also examined by thermal cycling test. Materials and Methods: Eight commercial silicone resilient denture liners were used. The specimens...

Treatment of an edentulous mandible is an important standard area of indication for implants. The aim of the present study was to discuss various aspects of this very important topic using a literature research and possibly derive a recommendation for hybrid prosthetic treatment of the edentulous mandible. Though evaluation of the literature produced a large number of publications with case his...

Immediate complete denture is a full arch prosthetic, inserted immediately following the extraction of all remaining teeth to replace missing dentition and associated structures. Female patient, 74 years old, came make new set but didn’t want mobile get extracted before ready because it was still needed for her old partial retention. Upon clinical examination, she has flat maxillary mandibular ...

Denture stomatitis, a common disorder affecting denture wearers, is characterized as inflammation and erythema of the oral mucosal areas covered by the denture. Despite its commonality, the etiology of denture stomatitis is not completely understood. A search of the literature was conducted in the PubMed electronic database (through November 2009) to identify relevant articles for inclusion in ...

Objective This study investigated the wear resistance of injection-molded thermoplastic denture base resins using nanoindentation instrument. Materials and methods Six injection-molded thermoplastic denture base resins (two polyamides, two polyesters, one polycarbonate, one polymethylmethacrylate [PMMA]) and a PMMA conventional heat-polymerized denture-based polymer control were tested. Elastic...

This article reports the 20-month clinical outcome of the use of 4 zygomatic implants with immediate occlusal loading and reverse planning for the retreatment of atrophic edentulous maxilla after failed rehabilitation with autogenous bone graft reconstruction and maxillary implants. The intraoral clinical examination revealed mispositioned and loosened implants underneath a maxillary complete d...

Definition Denture-related stomatitis indicates an inflammatory process of the mucosa that bears a complete or partial removable dental appliance, typically a denture. Since it was described as “sore mouth under plates”, several terms have been used in the past to define this condition: “chronic denture palatitis”, “stomatitis prothetica”, “denture related candidiasis” “denture-induced stomatit...
