To compare a simplified method to conventional protocol for complete denture fabrication regarding masticatory performance and ability.A sample was formed by edentulous patients requesting treatment with maxillary mandibular dentures. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: Group S, which received dentures fabricated method, C (n=21 each), conventionally After three months following insertion, evaluated colorimetric assay based on chewing capsules as test food during twenty forty...

A mandibular implant-retained overdenture is considered a first-choice treatment for edentulism. However, some aspects limit the use of standard implants—for example, width edentulous ridges, chronic diseases, fear, or costs. This randomized trial compared overdentures retained by 2 4 mini-implants with implants, considering oral health–related quality life (OHRQoL), patient satisfaction, and complications such as lost implant. In sum, 120 men women (mean age, 59.5 ± 8.5 y) randomly received...

Complete denture fabrication involves a series of complex technical procedures. Nevertheless, simplified methods may be as effective conventional ones albeit the lesser use time and resources, without disadvantage for patient. This study compared method complete to protocol in terms oral health-related quality life (OHRQoL), patient satisfaction quality. Forty-two edentulous patients requesting treatment with dentures were randomly allocated into two groups. Group S received fabricated by C...

Fluorinated denture base acrylic resins can present more stable physical properties when compared with conventional polymers. This study evaluated the incorporation of a fluoroalkyl methacrylate (FMA) mixture in material and its effect on roughness flexural strength. A swelling behavior assessment resin specimens (n=3, per substance) after 12 h FMA or methyl (MMA) immersion was conducted to determine solvent properties. Rectangular (n=30) were allocated three groups, according concentration...

Abstract Purpose This study aimed to quantify the costs of complete denture fabrication by a simplified method compared with conventional protocol. Materials and Methods A sample edentulous patients needing maxillary mandibular dentures was randomly divided into group S, which received fabricated method, C, conventionally dentures. We calculated direct indirect for each participant including unscheduled procedures. assessed 19 20 participants allocated groups S respectively, comparisons...

Summary The retention of removable dentures by mini‐implants is a relatively recent treatment modality and may lead to minimal post‐operative trauma. This study compared pain discomfort following the insertion (two or four) two standard‐size implants for mandibular overdentures. One hundred twenty edentulous participants (mean age 59·5 ± 8·5 years) were randomly allocated into three groups according received treatment: ( GI ) four mini‐implants, GII GIII standard implants. Seven days after...

This study evaluated the effect of different microwave polymerization cycles on color changes a microwave-processed denture base resin after accelerated aging and immersion in beverages.Specimens light pink acrylic were divided into three groups according to cycle: (A) 500 W for 3 minutes, (B) 90 13 minutes + seconds, (C) 320 0 4 720 minutes. Control heat-processed (T) chemically activated repair (Q). Eight specimens per group aged an artificial chamber at 20, 192, 384 hours. Another series...

Mandibular overdentures retained by 2 conventional implants have been considered the standard of care for complete edentulism, according to McGill and York consensuses. However, many patients refuse this treatment modality due associated costs postsurgical discomfort. Mini-implants chance overcome these limitations their potentially lower a relatively uncomplicated surgical technique. This study compared incremental cost-effectiveness following insertion mini-implants (2 or 4) standard-size...

This preliminary in vitro study evaluated the simulated retention force of O-rings used for mini-implant overdenture treatment and effect mechanical fatigue corresponding to 6 months wear. A mandibular analog device was attached two mini-implants underwent a tensile strength test before after application insertion-removal masticatory cycles. Insertion-removal cycles led loss 24%, whereas did not influence retention. Micro-CT scans showed minor deformation following cycling, but changes were...

ABSTRACT Background: In sites with diminished bone volume, the osseointegration of dental implants can be compromised. Innovative biomaterials have been developed to aid successful outcomes. Purpose: The aim this study was evaluate osteogenic potential angiogenic latex proteins for improved formation and implants. Materials Methods: Ten dogs were submitted bilateral circumferential defects (5.0 × 6.3 mm) in mandible. Dental implant (3.3 10.0 mm, TiUnite MK3™, Nobel Biocare AB, Göteborg,...

Abstract This is a report of case an unusual oral lesion after the placement mini implants for retention mandibular overdenture. A patient received four 2‐mm‐wide dental in anterior mandible and had her denture relined with soft material. After 3 months, she was not wearing denture, two nodular ulcerated lesions were observed near implants. The ceased following excision regular wearing. Clinical microscopic examination led to diagnosis traumatic ulcerative granuloma stromal eosinophilia...

The aim of this study was to determine whether two methods documentation, print and electronic forms, for the assessment patient-reported outcomes (PRO) in complete denture wearers provide comparable results. also quantified time needed filling forms by each method. Thirty participants enrolled a university clinic answered (a questionnaire satisfaction OHIP-EDENT). They provided answers with application random order, one-month interval between them: (1) on tablet computer; (2) forms. were...

Introdução: A fim de reduzir custos e tempo clínico envolvidos com o tratamento, Dentistas têm utilizado métodos simplificados, omitindo ou abreviando partes da técnica confecção das próteses totais. Objetivo: Levantar as práticas utilizadas pelos Cirurgiões-Dentistas para a Material método: Os dados foram levantados por meio um formulário eletrônico contendo perguntas relativas ao perfil aos procedimentos clínicos utilizados, quantificar uso simplificados convencionais, bem como determinar...

Introdução: O mixoma é um tumor odontogênico de origem ectomesenquimal, raro, porém localmente agressivo. A lesão ocorre em maxila e mandíbula, sendo a última mais afetada. Acomete principalmente adultos na segunda terceira décadas vida, onde apresentam porcentagem 69,2%, pode ocorrer qualquer idade, apresenta leve predileção pelo gênero feminino. Radiograficamente apresenta-se como uma área radiolúcida, multilocular, com margens bem definidas. tratamento remoção cirúrgica. Objetivo: Relatar...

Introdução: A má oclusão é caracterizada por um conjunto de anormalidades dentofaciais, através posições dentárias e ósseas, que impedem o correto desenvolvimento da face. As más oclusões classe III podem agravar com passar do tempo, uma vez crescimento mandíbula se mantém ativo período mais longo maxila. Por isso, acredita-se a intervenção precoce, expansão maxilar tração reversa maxila, nos pacientes em bem indicada pode ser executada. Descrição Caso: Paciente gênero feminino, 9 anos...

Introdução: O lábio duplo é denominado uma alteração da mucosa oral rara, não havendo predileção por idade, gênero ou etnia.
