Objective To determine whether there a relationship between number pairs antagonist teeth come into contact when mouth closed (functional masticatory units [FMUs]) and level impairment. Methods We conducted cross‐sectional observational study with 502 institutionalised White individuals older than 65 years, living in northwest Spain Portugal. Through direct visual...
Aim and Background. The absorption of fluids by denture base materials diminishes the mechanical properties such as hardness, strength, fatigue limit due to plasticizing effect water. This study aimed evaluate influence oral pH on fracture resistance prosthetic bases made three different heat-polymerizable acrylic resin brands: RS Vertex®, Triplex Hot®, Megacryl®. strength needed resins each were evaluated. Methods. Ten prosthesis prepared with brand subjected neutral low conditions (pH 7 4)...
Even though most studies consider strict anaerobe Gram-negative bacteria as the main factor associated with peri-implantitis, other have identified microorganisms present in implants related to peri-implant disease that ability reduce effectiveness of treatment, such Candida spp., Enterococcus faecalis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Therefore, microbiologic diagnosis is important for success implant treatment. The goal this study was detect E. P. aeruginosa periodontal subgingival plaque...
