Filter by:The aim of the current study protocol is to compare the effect of two complete dentures made for completely edentulous patients; one digitally constructed using digital smile design (DSD) and another one conventionally constructed on the patient's quality of life and patient's satisfaction. It is a clinical trial in which two dentures will be made for each patient, one will be digitally constructed using digital smile design (DSD) and the other one using the conventional method with a washout period of 3 weeks. Each patient will receive a questionnaire "Oral Health Impact Profile -19" (OHIP -19) for the edentulous patients to evaluate his satisfaction with the denture.
The goal of this clinical trial study is to evaluate the accuracy of the full digital workflow for four-implant, screw-retained mandibular hybrid prostheses in patients with completely edentulous mandible.
This study presents a smart digital approach to design and construct a screw retained immediately loaded full arch implant supported bridge based on the pre-treatment complete denture.
A Total number of 36 implants were installed in 6 patients having mandibular single denture. The patients were divided into two groups according to the definitive prosthesis. Group I received ball and socket retained mandibular implant overdenture while Group II received cement retained implant supported fixed bridges.
The effect of using denture adhesives on patient satisfaction with complete dentures; A randomized clinical trial. The study evaluates the effect of using 3 types of denture adhesives on patient satisfaction and quality of life of complete denture patients
The use of complete removable dental prostheses (CRDP) is a reliable and effective treatment option for the rehabilitation of edentulous persons. In recent years, the use of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) methods has become more popular for the fabrication of CRDPs, including subtractive methods (milling) from a prefabricated resin puck. They present various advantages compared to conventional fabrication methods, namely improved mechanical properties, superior surface characteristics, shortened manufacturing time and lower cost for the patient. However, one of the shortcomings in the manufacturing of CRDPs from a single block of resin is obtaining an adequate esthetic outcome, as the transition between the gingiva-colored (pink) and tooth-colored (white) resin is not as precise as with prefabricated prosthetic teeth which are incorporated into a denture base. A novel technology has recently been launched on the market and includes a new design of distribution of pink and white resin inside a prefabricated resin puck, which would allow a superior esthetic outcome than previous techniques. The aim of this pilot study is to assess the end result of one of the available systems used for fabricating digital dentures (Ivoclar® Digital Denture®), while using the corresponding monolithic resin puck (Ivoclar® Ivotion Denture System®), and therefore determining whether this new technique is an adequate option for treating edentulous patients.
Comparison between fixed and removable implant-retained complete prostheses previously showed that while patients appreciate the ergonomic cleaning of removable prostheses, they prefer the comfort and masticatory efficiency of fixed prostheses. New treatment strategies are emerging; the use of telescopic attachments now offers a prosthetic alternative for the treatment of edentulous teeth at a lower financial cost than fixed prostheses. To answer this question, the study is constructed as a cross-over. 30 patients will use a removable telescopic prosthesis and then a fixed prosthesis, or vice versa, for a period of 6 months according to randomization. They will answer a quality of life questionnaire after each period and finally choose their favorite prosthesis. The null hypothesis is that removable telescopic implant prostheses will result in a quality of life comparable to that obtained with fixed implant-supported prostheses. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of removable versus fixed prostheses on quality of life after 6 months of use of each implant-supported prosthesis in edentulous maxillary or mandibular patients. The measurement of the evolution of the quality of life is analyzed using the GOHAI questionnaire after 6 months of use of each prosthesis. The secondary objectives are to: - Determine the decisional parameters in the final choice of the prosthesis by the patient at the end of the study, with the Mc Gill Denture Satisfaction Instrument, - Compare the masticatory efficiency between the two dentures (duration, number of cycles and frequency of chewing of the carrot test food, with each denture after 6 months of use), - Compare the oral hygiene between the two prostheses (peri-implant plaque index, after 6 months for each prosthesis), - Compare the adjustments and repair required after the placement of each prosthesis and the chairside treatment time to achieve them, - Compare the complications and their frequency of occurrence with each type of prosthesis during the 6-month wearing period.
The purpose of this randomized, double-blind, 2-period crossover trial was to assess the satisfaction of edentulous patients and their oral health impact profile when provided with complete dentures fabricated using the conventional and simplified techniques.
Bite testing using T-Scan allows the evaluation of occlusal contacts prior to making a bite adjustment. The T-Scan can indicate premature contact and the load distribution on teeth, and provide measurable force and time information that ensures proper occlusal adjustment.
80 complete denture (CD) wearers participated in the quasi-experimental study. Two outcomes were: 1) oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) assessed using the Oral Impacts on Daily Performances index, and 2) masticatory performance, determined by a peanut particle size after 20-stroke mastication. Denture retention and stability were evaluated using the Chulalongkorn University (CU)-modified Kapur method to classify the CD into acceptable or unacceptable quality. Data were collected at 3-time points: 1) at baseline (T0), 2) after a 1-month trial of denture adhesive (DA) use (T1), at which time the participants decided whether to continue using DA, and 3) 1-month after continued or discontinued using DA (T2).
