Mandibular Complete Denture

The mandibular complete denture is a challenge for the dentist. Unfavorable anatomical and physiological conditions such low bearing surface and a significant bone resorption, often compromise the prosthetic retention.The exploitation of root stumps is a reliable alternative that leads to a better prosthetic integration by increasing the retention, if the total prosthesis is connected to these root stumps via axial ball or bar attachments.In addition, this prosthetic alternative considerably improves the patient's comfort and masticatory coefficient and favors the preservation of the bone capital, provided that the requirements of root preservation as well as clinical and laboratory techniques are respected.We would like to illustrate this by presenting a clinical case in which we used the connecting bar in the mandibular arch.

Mandibular Complete Denture

Residual ridge resorption is the reduction in size of the bony ridge under the mucoperiosteum. Obtaining retention and stability in a severely resorbed ridges using a conventional technique is a tedious task. The resorption occurs at a faster rate in mandibular arch as compared to the maxillary arch. In order to have a favorable prognosis for the denture therapy, impression technique selected should be based on the present state of the basal tissue support for mandible. In this article neutral zone concept was incorporated in to impression making in an effort to achieve successful mandibular complete denture. The anterior region of maxilla is the most affected area in edentulous patients. Complete denture wearers with flabby ridges may face a number of difficulties, of which major complaints would be pain, compromised stability, support, and retention and an ill-fitting denture. Special impressions often involve window technique for static impression of flabby area, which present multiple challenges. This article presents a case report of modified widow impression technique for maxillary anterior flabby tissues along with a hollow maxillary complete denture in a patient with resorbed maxillary and mandibular ridges with increased interridge distance to reduce the weight of the prosthesis and thereby enhances the retention.

Mandibular Complete Denture

ABSTRACT Over denture is favoured treatment modality for an elderly patient with few remaining teeth, because of adaptation to wearing is facilitated. Roots maintained under the denture base preserve the alveolar ridge, provide sensory feedback and improve the stability of the dentures. In comparison with complete dentures, overdentures may provide better functions. The most common problem of mandibular complete denture is retention & stability and alveolar ridge resorption; hence care must be taken to preserve it.

Mandibular Complete Denture

Abstract Aim The aim of this report is to present a clinical case of extensive alveolar resorption in the mental region of the mandible of a complete denture wearer for which capsaicin was used for alleviation and remission of posttraumatic painful peripheral neuropathy. Background Resorption of the residual ridge occurs in a chronic and progressive manner, altering the configuration of the ridge and the mucosa covering it and subsequently compromising the stability of the complete denture prosthesis. Individual variability associated with such factors as gender, age, edentulous period, nutrition, excessive load and compression on the ridge, parafunctional habits, occlusal instability, and maladaptation of the prosthesis may have a role in the rate and manner of bone loss. Report A 62-year-old woman, edentulous at the age of 30, presented with complaints of pain and spontaneous “electrical shocks” in the mucosa under her mandibular complete denture. The pain increased while chewing approximately two years ago due to the pressure of this denture on her supporting tissues. The patient indicated the level of pain corresponded to a score of ten out of ten on the Visual Analogical Scale (VAS). Treatment included denture replacement and topical application of capsaicin gel using a custom tray technique. Summary The review of the literature and the results obtained from the management of this case have served to emphasize how much neuropathic pain research has demonstrated the complexity of its neurophysiologic mechanism due to the lack of association with any somatic manifestation. During the fabrication of a new lower denture the topical application of capsaicin was shown to be effective in the relief and remission of the painful symptoms of the neuropathy as of this writing.

Abstract The tooth position and flange contour have great influence on the stability of a denture. We should not be dogmatic and insist that teeth be placed over the crest of the ridge, buccal or lingual to the ridge. Teeth should be placed as dictated by the musculature, and this will vary for different patients. The neutral zone technique is the most effective way of improving the stability of complete denture especially for patients with atrophic ridges or diminished neuromuscular control. The technique involves recording neutral zone using tissue conditioner and fabrication of a denture which is in harmony with the surrounding oral musculature. This article aims to increase the awareness of dental practitioners to use neutral zone concept in case of denture stability difficulties.
