A conventional complete denture is still a widely used prosthesis. Even after lots of advancement in the field of prosthodontics very little attention has been paid to the emotional status and satisfaction of the patient related to the fabrication of the prosthesis. In this study, all the patients with complete dentures in the department of prosthodontics in Sharad Pawar dental college, were asked to fill the questionnaire regarding the satisfaction of the patient related to the complete denture prosthesis delivered in our department and the result was evaluated by the response given by the patient.

The aim of this study was to provide longitudinal evaluation of the changes after complete dentures therapy and the rate of residual ridge resorption through a six-year period of denture wearing. The authors presented the case of a 76-year-old patient, edentulous for twelve years, wearing complete dentures for six years, with the eugnat jaw relationship. Cephalometric radiograph was carried out in the process of new complete denture production, while the evaluation was carried out after six years. Cephalometric analysis was performed by using ?Dr. Ceph? computer software (FYI Technologies, GA, USA). After six years, the reduction of anterior total facial height was 5.5 mm and the anterior lower facial height was 5.5 mm, the vertical residual ridge reduction of the maxilla was 1.4 mm and the reduction of the mandible was 3mm. The study confirms the reliability and advantages of cephalometric analyses and reveals their application possibilities in prosthetic diagnostics and therapy, as well as in evaluation of rehabilitative results in edentulous patients and longitudinal analysis of changes on the orofacial complex tissues and intemaxillary relationships.

There has been an increase in the incidence of complete edentulism among the elder patients. Complete dentures are the most common and preferred treatment of choice. Complete dentures help in masticatory function and restore the facial shape of the edentulous patients. Fabrication of the complete dentures is, therefore, a very important task for the clinician to ensure patient satisfaction. Errors may occur during the denture fabrication and these are called processing errors. It is a multifactorial process. The aim of the survey is to study the errors that occur during processing of a complete denture. It is a questionnaire based study conducted with a batch of 100 dental students. The questionnaire consisted of 16 questions focused on different fabrication techniques, timing, materials used, etc. by various students. The data collected was represented statistically and discussed. Dough technique was the most preferred method adopted by 39% of the students. Shorter curing cycles produced less defects, but majority of the students used longer cycles (41%). Most of them reported fractures (16%) and microporosities (11%) as defects. We can conclude that there are a few areas of error during the processing of dentures by the dental students. The incidence of these errors, however appears to be low. There is a scope for CAD/CAM complete dentures in the future to eliminate the possibilities of errors.

Background/Aim. Balanced occlusal arrangement of artificial teeth and balanced occlusion is a specific type of occlusion that preserves the stability of complete dentures. Balanced occlusion comprises realization of tooth contacts at the working side as well as at the balancing side, at the same time. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of balanced occlusal arrangement of artificial teeth on the decrease in reduction of edentulous alveolar ridge. Methods. A longitudinal study on 91 fully edentulous patients was conducted using their panoramic radiographs and parameters of vertical dimension of edentulous ridges. All the patients were clinically examined by the same and a qualified dental practitioner. Numerical values of parameters of vertical dimensions of edentulous ridges and lines were statistically processed and compared using the Student?s t-test. Results. Vertical dimensions and heights of edentulous ridges were different after comparison of parameters in complete denture wearers with balanced occlusion and complete denture wearers without bilaterally balanced occlusion, as well as between male and female edentulous patients. Statistically significant differences of heights were established in complete denture wearers? with a set of artificial teeth without balanced occlusion, at the baseline and 12 months after wearing of complete dentures. Conclusion. Balanced occlusion is a favored occlusal design in setting of artificial teeth in conventional complete dentures, which preserves edentulous ridge and influence the stability of dentures.

Aim: To compare and evaluate clinical experience and graphoanalysis, using House’s classification in assessing the emotional status of completely edentulous patients in success of complete denture. Settings and Design: Comparative analytical study. Methods and Material: 50 completely edentulous patients of age above 45 years (M/F) were taken as subjects. Literate patients were included in the study while incompetent patients and illiterate patients were excluded. Patients were asked to express their expectations regarding the treatment on paper in their handwritings using vernacular language. Subjects were categorized on the basis of age and gender. The handwriting samples were collected and graphoanalysis was done. Statistical analysis used: The resultant data was subjected to statistical analysis using chi square test and spearman's rank correlation test. Results: Considering age, on graphoanalysis (P-18, I-14, E-14, H–4) were found, when compared to Clinical experience (P-23, I-12, E -13, H- 2). While considering gender, on GA (P-18, I-14, E-14 and H-4) were found when compared to CE (P-23, I-12, E-13 and H-2). Chi-square test showed CE and GA were independent of age and gender. Spearman’s rank correlation between CE and GA was 0.217. Conclusions: Clinical experience and graphoanalysis of complete denture patient are independent of Age and Gender. There was a significant correlation between CE and GA, so graphoanalysis can be used for ascertaining the mental attitude of completely edentulous patient.

ABSTRACT Purpose The retention of complete dentures is frequently difficult in edentulous patients with a severely resorbed residual alveolar ridge. In such cases, implant overdentures having a stronger retention force are useful. Although there are various types of attachment systems for implant overdentures, they are frequently complicated. We are, therefore, developing a simple attachment system focusing on a soft lining material for the female connector. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the retention force of implant overdentures applying a soft lining material for the attachment. Materials and methods The models in which seven male and female connector pairs were used. As the control, a rubber O-ring attachment system, in which a rubber O-ring female was paired with a metal ball anchor (male), having a diameter of 1.7 or 2.2 mm. In the attachment system with a soft lining material, a female component was made up of soft lining material paired with a male having a diameter of 1.7, 2.2, 2.5, 2.7 or 3.0 mm. In measuring the retention force, the maximum force required to dislodge the male from the female was recorded by a digital force gauge. Results With the rubber O-ring, the retention force was 2.9 ± 0.2 N for the 1.7 mm male and 3.3 ± 0.3 N for the 2.2 mm male; these values were higher than the respective retention forces when using a soft lining material as the female and a male of the same diameter. However, with the female comprising soft lining material, the retention force exceeded 4 N for the 2.5, 2.7 and 3.0 mm males and was higher than the retention forces for the rubber O-ring. Conclusion The proposed attachment system with soft lining material for implant overdentures provides a clinically sufficient retention force when the diameter of the male exceeds 2.5 mm.
