Complete denture rehabilitation of edentulous patient with severe alveolar bone resorption using mandibular suction denture with closed mouth technique: a clinical report

Bone resorption beneath a maxillary complete denture was simulated by the finite element method, assuming that a threshold of compressive strain exists in the alveolar bone above which the resorption occurred. The pattern of predicted resorption was observed when 100 N of force was applied to three positions occlusally, and 20 N was applied facially. Moreover, we observed the effect of rebasing the denture after initial resorption. The results indicate that resorption was initiated on the facial and occlusal surfaces of the alveolar ridge and proceeded palatally. The resorption was greater as the occlusal load point moved facially and when the force was applied in the facial direction. When the load point was toward the facial, rebasing the denture accentuated the resorption, but when the load point was toward the palatal, the resorption was almost the same regardless of rebase. The pattern of simulated bone resorption was similar to that reported from clinical observations, which suggests that the resorption may be associated with compressive strains developed in the alveolar bone. The results argue for the importance of occlusal adjustment of dentures to move the occlusal load point palatally and produce balanced occlusion in protrusion and lateral excursions, especially after a rebase procedure.

Gothic Arch

An 80-year-old man sought treatment at our hospital. He was dissatisfied with his old complete denture due to its poor stability and retention. The old complete denture had been used for about 20 years. The prolonged use of an unsuitable complete denture led the patient to be accustomed to unilateral mastication (UM). Due to the patient long-term habitual mandibular deviation, using the physiological technique to get the centric relation (CR) achieved an incorrect horizontal maxillomandibular record. This clinical report presents a technique using the existing complete denture mounted with a Gothic arch tracer to determine the CR. This technique is an inexpensive, simple, and reliable method that allows fabricating the final impression and obtaining the maxillomandibular relationship record (MMRR) in one step.

Edentulous Patient

ABSTRACT An abnormally small oral orifice is referred to as microstomia, although the intraoral structures may be of normal size. Making impression in microstomia patients is often cumbersome. Prosthetic rehabilitation of microstomia patients present difficulties at all stages, right from preliminary impressions to insertion of prostheses. To rehabilitate a patient with microstomia successfully, the methods and designs incorporated in the fabrication of prosthesis have to be modified to achieve favorable esthetics, mastication and retention. This clinical report describes the method of fabrication of sectional denture for completely edentulous patient with microstomia resulting from scleroderma with modified primary impression procedure without using tray and also method of fabricating a sectional complete denture. Fabricating the denture in two pieces enable the patient to insert and remove the denture with ease. How to cite this article Basavanna JM, Raikhy A.

AbstractPalateless tooth supported overdenture is a treatment modality for patients to increase comfort as it aids in good retention, enhanced stability, better chewing efficiency and decreased alveolar bone resorption. This case report gives an insight into the step wise fabrication of a tooth supported palateless overdenture rather for better comfort, temperature and taste perception which is not possible as in case of a conventional complete denture.

Facial Musculature

Complete edentulism for longer period of time and aging causes flaccid of facial musculature which leads to sunken cheeks and unpleasing appearance of face. In order to get a supplemental support for the drooping cheek muscles, fabrication of conventional complete denture with adjunct detachable cheek plumpers are simple, acceptable non-invasive and economical. Despite the discussion of various attachment used for cheek plumper in literature each have their own disadvantages. The present clinical report demonstrated the use of chairside available lingual sheath and stainless steel wire for the attachment of cheek plumpers to the maxillary complete denture.

Hyperplastic Tissue

When in partially edentulous patient hyperplastic tissue replaces the alveolar bone, a flabby ridge develops which is often seen in long-term denture wearers. Flabby ridge provide poor retention for the denture fabrication if not recoded properly. A careful consideration and application of Zafrulla and Hobkrik technique of complete denture construction helps practitioner to over cone such conditions easily. This article describes procedure performed for flabby ridge patient and demonstrates Zafrulla and Hobkrik combination impression technique.
