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.

BACKGROUND: The set of pathological changes in the stomatognathic system in the presence of a total maxillary prosthesis and a removable partial mandibular prosthesis has been described as the Combi-nation Syndrome. The main purpose of this study was to determine its prevalence and if features such as age, sex or type of mandibular edentulism are associated with the syndrome in the patients of the Odon-tologic Clinic of the of Faculty of Dentistry, Universidad de Cuenca during the academic period 2015-2016. METhODS: Cuantitative, cross sectional descriptive and correlational study. The sample consisted of 312 edentulous patients. The diagnosis of the syndrome in this study was determined by the presence of a minimum of three associated signs. We determine the prevalence of combiantion syndrome and the association between sex, age and edentulism type and combination syndrome. RESUlTS: The prevalence of combination syndrome is 21.8%. Adults 60 years or older (1.8 times higher probability) and patients who suffer from Kennedy class I partial edentulism (3.6 times higher probability than other types of edentulism), have a higher probability for developing the syndrome. CONClUSiON: The prevalence of CS was 21.8%, age and suffering from Kennedy class I partial edentulism should be considered as risk factors for developing the syndrome.

Clinical Determination

Introduction. Optimal reconstruction of vertical dimension of occlusion is crucial for functional and physiognomic rehabilitation of edentulous patients. This article is aimed at presenting attitudes and studies on application of cephalometric analysis in obtaining optimal vertical dimension of occlusion. The review of literature presents the studies which analyse the possibilities of cephalometric analysis aimed at improving the clinical methods for vertical dimension of occlusion determination in treatment of edentulous patients. The research carried out so far can roughly be divided into: cephalometric vertical dimension of occlusion evaluation in dentulous patients performed to determine precise indicators of vertical dimension of occlusion and to establish cephalometric standards for practical application in prosthodontics; the method of producing pre-extraction cephalometric registries involves the production of cephalometric radiographs for potential prosthodontic patients in dental pre-extraction period which are kept for reference to be used in later therapy; the cephalometric method of registering the position of physiologic rest position of the mandible involves measuring cephalometric parameters in cephalometric radiographs made when the mandible is in physiologic rest position; cephalometric evaluation of vertical dimension of occlusion in complete denture therapy after clinical determination of intemaxillary relationship is recommended for timely detection of possible mistakes, with a possibility of correction in the process of complete denture production; and cephalometric analysis in edentulous patients with old complete dentures for a planned vertical dimension of occlusion extension. Conclusion. Data from the literature give no proof of a scientific and universally accepted method for precise determination of vertical dimension of occlusion, which is a point many authors agree upon. Different methods proposed for vertical dimension of occlusion determination in everyday practice are usually recommended in combination with other methods. Determination of individual, morphological vertical dimension of occlusion indicators by cephalometric analysis is, in this sense, one of the directions for finding a better solution when planning an artificial occlusion complex.

AbstractTooth loss is a widespread geriatric healthcare issue. The problems with the complete denture wear in edentulous patients are compounded by the coexisting diabetes. The dryness of thin oral mucosa resultant from diabetes or as side effect of medications used for various advanced age health problems lead to restricted prosthesis wear. Impaired chewing ability and denture problems can cause isolation among geriatric population.
