Intraoral Luting: Modified Prosthetic Design to Achieve Passivity, Precision of Fit, and Esthetics for a Cement-Retained, Implant-Supported Metal-Resin-Fixed Complete DentureEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
An intraoral luting technique between electroformed gold copings and a metallic framework for a cement-retained, implant-supported metal-resin-fixed complete-denture is presented. The peculiarity is the different prosthetic design with the metallic framework that was 1.5 mm shorter than the margin of the electroformed copings. As a consequence, the conventional thick prosthesis margin (electroformed copings, cement for the luting phase, framework) was modified into a thin electroformed prosthesis seal (0.3 mm) just beyond the apical limit of the esthetic material. Passive fit between the framework and the electroformed gol...

Sectional Impression Tray and Sectional Denture for a Microstomia PatientEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Microstomia presents a unique challenge to the patient. Patients with microstomia who must wear removable dental prostheses often face the difficulty of being unable to insert or remove the prosthesis because of the constricted opening of the oral cavity. A completely edentulous patient, who developed microstomia along with Raynaud's phenomenon induced by scleroderma, is presented. This clinical report describes a quick and easy method for fabrication of a sectional custom impression tray connected by press button and a sectional complete denture retained by magnets. A sectional denture that provides ease in placement and ...

Relationship between Oral Health-Related Quality of Life, Satisfaction, and Personality in Patients with Prosthetic RehabilitationsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Patients' satisfaction with their dentition and prosthetic rehabilitations has positive effects on oral health-related QoL and oral health impacts and improves patients' daily living and dental perceptions. Neuroticism might influence and predict patients' satisfaction with their dentition, oral health impacts, and oral health-related QoL. Satisfaction with the dentition might predict a patient's level of neuroticism. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontics)

Variability of Mechanical Torque-Limiting Devices in Clinical Service at a US Dental SchoolEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Both types of wrenches tested were capable of producing accurate torque values; however, variability was higher in the toggle-type group. Some toggle-type torque wrenches in clinical service delivered unacceptably high torque values. It is recommended that clinicians calibrate toggle-type wrenches frequently. Torque wrenches should be activated slowly, over 4 seconds, when using a correctly calibrated toggle-type wrench. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontics)

All the tested groups showed significantly lower values compared to the initial biaxial strength mean values of the Omega ceramic; however, two of the tested ULFC (Vision, Finesse), recorded means that were statistically equal to the resin-ceramic direct subgroup. Duceram LFC showed the lowest values, probably due to its totally glass composition, which showed low strength values of the repaired specimens. The recorded b...

Palatal Anchorage for the Retention of Interim Removable ProsthesesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This paper describes a technique that involves the use of palatal implants to retain a maxillary interim prosthesis when extensive bone graft procedures are performed. The rationale is that some bone graft procedures require the removal of the denture flanges for graft success. Once the denture flanges are removed, the denture loses all its retention capabilities, making this lengthy interim phase difficult for the patient. While the use of palatal implants has been documented extensively, limited information is available to describe the use of palatal implants for prosthetic reasons. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontics)

Force Needed to Separate Acrylic Resin from Primed and Unprimed Frameworks of Different DesignsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Significantly increased force was necessary to separate the acrylic from each design of primed test specimens compared with unprimed specimens of the same design. The primed metal plate with beads exhibited significantly greater separation force than the other three designs. Primed mesh had significantly greater separation force values than primed lattice and smooth metal plate. Primed lattice was significantly less retentive than the other three primed designs. Except for the retentive mesh specimens, there was higher occurrence of cohesive failures in the acrylic resin when the frameworks were primed. (Sourc...

Comparison of the Passivity between Cast Alloy and Laser-Welded Titanium Overdenture BarsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The passivity of implant overdenture bars was evaluated using total strain of the bar when tightening. Selecting a high modulus of elasticity cast alloy or use of laser-welded bar design resulted in the lowest average strain magnitudes. While the effect of screw tightening sequence was minimal, tightening the distal ends first demonstrated the lowest strain, and hence the best passivity. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontics)

In Vitro Tensile Bond Strength of Denture Repair Acrylic Resins to Primed Base Metal Alloys Using Two Different Processing TechniquesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, MRB provided the highest bond strength to both Ni-Cr and Co-Cr alloys. Generally, bond strength improved significantly when specimens were primed. Pressure-pot curing, in most cases, resulted in higher bond strength than bench curing. The results of this in vitro study suggest that MRB metal primer can be used to increase bond strength of autopolymerized repair acrylic resin to base metal alloys. Curing autopolymerized acrylic under pressure potentially increases bond strength. (Source: Journal of Prosthodontics)

Provisional Prosthetic Management of Mobile Teeth in Conjunction with a Removable Partial Denture Using Orthodontic WireEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Precision attachment-retained removable partial dentures eliminate the use of visible clasps and improve the esthetic appearance of the smile; however, terminal abutment teeth may be subject to unfavorable stresses under function when misused. A provisional prosthetic management technique that incorporates an orthodontic wire to assist cross-arch support and stability of the periodontally weakened abutment teeth is described. This technique is simple, reversible, does not alter the esthetic appearance of the smile, and controls the mobility of the abutment teeth until a definitive treatment plan is established.

Esthetic Interim Acrylic Resin Prosthesis Reinforced with Metal CastingEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Fabrication of an interim prosthesis is an important procedure in oral rehabilitation because it aids in determining the esthetics, phonetics, and occlusal relationship of the definitive restoration. The typical material (acrylic resin) used in interim prostheses commonly fails due to fractures. During extended oral rehabilitation with fixed partial prostheses, high strength interim prostheses are often required to protect hard and soft tissues, avoid dental mobility, and to allow the clinician and patient a chance to evaluate cosmetics and function before the placement of the definitive prosthesis. Furthermore, a satisfac...
