A removable veneer-type palatal augmentation prosthesis (PAP) was attached to a complete denture to reduce weight and maintain good hygiene. As a result, the weight of the PAP was reduced from 27.1 g at the time of palatal augmentation, by using the tissue conditioner, to 16.6 g, with the definitive removable veneer-type prosthesis. This method can also be applied to removable partial dentures when the impression of the palatal augmentation is properly positioned on the definitive cast after the removal of the tissue conditioner.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Denture plaque-associated infections are regarded as a source of serious dental and medical complications in the elderly population. Methods of managing this problem are needed.

Purpose

The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the effects of treatment with a 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine polymer, PMBPAz, on plaque deposition in complete dentures.

Material and methods

The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Showa University (#2013-013). Eleven individuals with maxillary complete dentures participated in this study. Their dentures were treated with PMBPAz, and the amount of denture plaque accumulation was evaluated by staining the denture surfaces with methylene blue after 2 weeks of denture usage. The same procedures were repeated to evaluate the original denture surfaces as a control. The image of the stained denture surface was captured using a digital camera, and the percentage of stained area, quantified as a pixel-based density, of the whole denture area (percentage of plaque index) was calculated for the mucosal and polished surfaces. To quantify the biofilm on the dentures, denture plaque biofilm was detached by ultrasonic vibration, resuspended in diluent, and measured with a microplate reader at an optical density of 620 nm. The effects of PMBPAz treatment on these variables were statistically analyzed with ANOVA (α=.05).

Results

The mean ±SD percentage of plaque index was 40.7% ±19.9% on the mucosal surfaces and 28.0% ±16.8% on the polished surfaces of the control denture. The mean percentage of plaque index of PMBPAz-treated dentures significantly decreased to 17.4%% ±12.0% on the mucosal surfaces (P<.001) and 15.0% ±9.9% on the polished surfaces (P<.05). The quantification of plaque deposition agreed with the results of these image analyses.

Conclusions

These results demonstrated the effectiveness of the treatment with the PMBPAz to inhibit the bacterial plaque deposition on complete dentures.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Clinical studies comparing the retention values of milled denture bases with those of conventionally processed denture bases are lacking.

Purpose

The purpose of this clinical study was to compare the retention values of conventional heat-polymerized denture bases with those of digitally milled maxillary denture bases.

Material and methods

Twenty individuals with completely edentulous maxillary arches participated in this study. Definitive polyvinyl siloxane impressions were scanned (iSeries; Dental Wings), and the standard tessellation language files were sent to Global Dental Science for the fabrication of a computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) milled denture base (group MB) (AvaDent). The impression was then poured to obtain a definitive cast that was used to fabricate a heat-polymerized acrylic resin denture base resin (group HB). A custom-designed testing device was used to measure denture retention (N). Each denture base was subjected to a vertical pulling force by using an advanced digital force gauge 3 times at 10-minute intervals. The average retention of the 2 fabrication methods was compared using repeated ANOVA (α=.05).

Results

Significantly increased retention was observed for the milled denture bases compared with that of the conventional heat-polymerized denture bases (P<.001).

Conclusions

The retention offered by milled complete denture bases from prepolymerized poly(methyl methacrylate) resin was significantly higher than that offered by conventional heat- polymerized denture bases.  相似文献

Statement of problem

A recent trend has been to reduce the procedural complexity of complete denture fabrication. Whether the clinical remount step is necessary is unclear.

Purpose

The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the relevance of the clinical remount procedure on complete denture outcomes.

Material and methods

Five electronic databases were searched through to May 2018. The terms “denture*”, “dental prosthes*”, “equilibrat*”, and “remount*” were chosen. The titles and abstracts were screened, and those which met the inclusion criteria were selected for full-text assessment. Studies that only performed the laboratory remount or were not randomized controlled studies were excluded.

Results

After duplicate removal, the database search strategy resulted in a total of 226 potential studies. After the titles and abstracts had been screened and the inclusion and exclusion criteria applied, 10 studies were retrieved for full-text assessment. Four randomized controlled clinical studies were included in the systematic review. A meta-analysis could not be performed because of variation in outcome measures after the clinical remount.

Conclusions

A clinical remount for complete dentures is recommended on delivery to reduce clinically observed areas of discomfort and reduce the number of recall appointments. The development of a reliable and valid patient satisfaction questionnaire is necessary to determine conclusively whether the clinical remount also improves patient-perceived satisfaction and mastication.  相似文献

Various pressure-indicating media are available to assess the adaptation of the intaglio surface of a removable dental prosthesis at the insertion and follow-up appointments. This clinical report describes the use of an elastomer that entered the maxillary sinus through an undetected oroantral communication at the 24-hour follow-up for an immediate maxillary complete removable dental prosthesis. A Caldwell-Luc sinusotomy procedure was required to remove the material, and the patient required over 1 year of healing time before his reported symptoms resolved.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Whether the implant abutment in implant-assisted removable partial dentures (IARPDs) functions as a natural removable partial denture (RPD) tooth abutment is unknown.

Purpose

The purpose of this 3-dimensional finite element study was to analyze the biomechanical behavior of implant crown, bone, RPD, and IARPD.

Material and methods

Finite element models of the partial maxilla, teeth, and prostheses were generated on the basis of a patient’s computed tomographic data. The teeth, surveyed crowns, and RPDs were created in the model. With the generated components, four 3-dimensional finite element models of the partial maxilla were constructed: tooth-supported RPD (TB), implant-supported RPD (IB), tooth-tissue-supported RPD (TT), and implant-tissue-supported RPD (IT) models. Oblique loading of 300 N was applied on the crowns and denture teeth. The von Mises stress and displacement of the denture abutment tooth and implant system were identified.

Results

The highest von Mises stress values of both IARPDs occurred on the implants, while those of both natural tooth RPDs occurred on the frameworks of the RPDs. The highest von Mises stress of model IT was about twice that of model IB, while the value of model TT was similar to that of model TB. The maximum displacement was greater in models TB and TT than in models IB and IT. Among the 4 models, the highest maximum displacement value was observed in the model TT and the lowest value was in the model IB.

Conclusions

Finite element analysis revealed that the stress distribution pattern of the IARPDs was different from that of the natural tooth RPDs and the stress distribution of implant-supported RPD was different from that of implant-tissue-supported RPD. When implants are used for RPD abutments, more consideration concerning the RPD design and the number or location of the implant is necessary.  相似文献

To provide maxillary and mandibular complete dentures for a patient with severe ridge resorption, the denture space was recorded using the piezography technique. After the piezographic space was scanned, a virtual tooth arrangement and festooning were performed within the space using computer-aided design software. The denture bases were milled from a polymethylmethacrylate resin block using computer-aided manufacturing, and commercially available denture teeth were bonded with resin adhesive. Using the piezography technique described, physiologically appropriate complete dentures were fabricated based on the neutral zone concept.  相似文献

Statement of problem

In recent years, the use of resin-matrix ceramics and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) abutments has been suggested to absorb excessive stresses on dental implants. However, only a few studies have evaluated the effect of these materials on stress distribution in implants and peripheral bone structure.

Purpose

The purpose of this finite element analysis was to evaluate the biomechanical behaviors of resin-matrix ceramics and PEEK customized abutments in terms of stress distribution in implants and peripheral bone.

Material and methods

Three-dimensional (3D) models of a bone-level implant system and a titanium base abutment were created by using the standard tessellation language (STL) data of original implant components. An anatomic customized abutment and a maxillary right second premolar crown were then modeled over the titanium base abutment. A bone block representing the maxillary right premolar area was created, and the implant was placed in the bone block with 100% osseointegration. Six different models were created according to combinations of restoration materials (translucent zirconia [TZI], lithium disilicate glass ceramic [IPS], polymer-infiltrated hybrid ceramic [VTE]), and customized abutment materials (PEEK and zirconia). In each model, the implants were loaded vertically (200 N) and obliquely (100 N). The stress distribution in the crown, implant, and abutments was evaluated through the von Mises stress analysis, and the stress distribution in the peripheral bone was examined through the maximum and minimum principal stress analyses.

Results

The oblique load resulted in high stress values in the implant components, restorative crown, and cortical bone. Low stress values were observed in the VTE crowns. Zirconia customized abutments exhibited higher stress values than PEEK customized abutments. The stress distributions in the implant and peripheral bone were similar in all models.

Conclusions

Changes in restoration and customized abutment material did not affect stress distribution in the implant and peripheral bone.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Clinical evidence on the best chemical protocol for the disinfection and removal of biofilm from complete dentures is lacking.

Purpose

The purpose of this crossover randomized clinical trial was to assess the effectiveness of various chemical hygiene clinical protocols in reducing the microbial viability of biofilm formed on complete dentures.

Material and methods

In this triple-blind (participants, dentist, and outcome evaluator) study, complete denture wearers without candidiasis were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=40) according to the chemical hygiene protocol: water (placebo), 0.5% sodium hypochlorite solution, 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate solution, and 5% sodium bicarbonate solution. The biofilm formed on the palate intaglio and denture teeth was collected and assessed in each experimental phase for quantitative microbial viability at the seventh and 14th day after using the chemical protocol.

Results

Two participants were lost. Data were analyzed by MANOVA and Tukey HSD tests. Soaking dentures was not effective in decreasing Candida albicans, C. non-albicans, and lactobacillus counts. The use of sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine decreased total microorganisms and Streptococcus mutans counts for both palate and teeth compared with water and sodium bicarbonate. The intaglio of the dentures always presented higher microbial counts than did the denture teeth.

Conclusions

The use of sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine and mechanical cleansing with a toothbrush decreased microbial viability in healthy complete denture wearers.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Nonrigid retainer systems for removable implant superstructures are associated with negative effects such as rocking and increased load on the denture base. Rigid retainer systems such as telescopic crowns reduce these negative effects, but their fabrication demands highly skilled dental technicians and is therefore expensive. Whether a protocol with prefabricated retainers will reduce production time is unclear.

Purpose

The purpose of this prospective clinical trial was to evaluate a prefabricated telescopic retainer and a treatment protocol including the intraoral luting of a framework.

Material and methods

A total of 23 participants (15 women and 8 men with a mean age of 61.6 ±2.9 years) were included. After 3 dropouts, 21 removable dentures (9 mandibular and 12 maxillary) retained by 91 delayed loaded Ankylos implants were investigated. All implants were restored with prefabricated conically shaped abutments (SynCone-abutment). The prefabricated corresponding cone matrix was assembled intraorally into a metal frame with autopolymerizing resin. After a loading period of 3 years, a follow-up examination investigated the fit of the framework, the prosthetic aftercare, the technical failures, and the retention force. A questionnaire was used to evaluate participant satisfaction. In addition, laboratory fabrication time and costs were compared with those of individually fabricated restorations.

Results

One mandibular implant was lost after 25 months (survival rate, 98.9%). The removable dentures showed no apparent rocking and minimal prosthetic maintenance during the 36-month trial. No dentures required relining. The retention force was scored as good in 17 participants and high (with 6 implants in the maxilla) and low (with 2 implants in the mandible) in 2 participants each. No technical failures occurred. An assessment of laboratory fabrication time and costs revealed reduced time and costs. Patient satisfaction was significantly increased (P<.001) over the entire observation time.

Conclusions

The SynCone retainer presented a time- and cost-efficient treatment option with sufficient long-term retention for removable dentures and high patient satisfaction. Mandibular prostheses restored with 2 implants had limited success.  相似文献

Statement of problem

A palatogram aids prosthodontists and speech pathologists in evaluating the precise prosthetic treatment needed and the effectiveness of such treatment to improve speech intelligibility. Powder is commonly used to visualize tongue-palate contact, where wetted areas of powder in the oral cavity reveal such contact during palatography. However, discomfort and the risk of aspiration are among the shortcomings of this method, and an improved method is needed.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to examine the feasibility of a new method of palatography that uses airborne-particle–abraded acrylic resin so that wet areas can be easily distinguished from dry areas.

Material and methods

Seventy-two specimens of heat-polymerized acrylic resin were prepared in 6 different resin colors. After the specimens had been airborne-particle abraded, CIELab color values for each specimen were measured using a colorimeter under dry and wet conditions and recorded. Color difference (ΔE) was then computed, and a paired Student t test, 1-way analysis of variance, and multiple comparison using the Tukey post hoc analysis were applied (α=.05).

Results

A significant color difference was found between the 2 conditions in all acrylic resin specimens examined. Mean ΔE ranged from 5.58 to 6.76.

Conclusions

The results indicated that an airborne-particle–abraded acrylic resin surface can show color differences made by wetting on palatograms.  相似文献

This clinical technique provides a key procedure for successful prosthetic treatment in patients with an anatomical compromise after a maxillectomy. When making a preliminary impression, the clinician must keep the handle of the stock tray parallel to the patient's interpupillary line extraorally to maintain the correct position of the tray and to make a record of the inclination of the occlusal plane. This simple consideration during this first step of making a preliminary impression can be an important guide for both dentists and dental technicians. Information about the correct positioning of the tray and the inclination of the occlusal plane obtained by using a stock tray handle will greatly reduce the stress experienced by dentists, dental technicians, and patients during the fabrication of the prosthesis and will ultimately lead to successful prosthetic treatment in patients with anatomic compromise resulting from a maxillectomy.  相似文献

Statement of problem

How tooth preparation and material type affect the stress distribution of endodontically treated teeth restored with endocrowns remains unclear.

Purpose

The purpose of this finite element (FE) study was to determine the influence of the quantity of remaining dental tissues and material type on stress distribution in endodontically treated maxillary premolars using 3-dimensional FE analysis.

Material and methods

Five 3-dimensional FE models were constructed on the basis of the restorative methods used and the quantity of preserved tooth tissues: a sound maxillary premolar, an endodontically treated maxillary premolar restored with composite resin, and endodontically treated maxillary premolars restored with endocrowns with thicknesses of 1.0 mm, 2.0 mm, and 3.0 mm. The following endocrown materials were used: Paradigm MZ100, IPS Empress, IPS e.max CAD, and In-Ceram Zirconia. Stress distributions were analyzed under vertical and oblique loads.

Results

As the quantity of preserved dental tissues increased, the von Mises stress in dentin decreased, and the peak von Mises strain value of the cement layer increased. When the elastic modulus of the endocrown material increased, the von Mises stress in endocrown and dentin increased, and the peak von Mises strain value of the cement layer decreased.

Conclusions

Although the conservative preparation of teeth for endocrowns is likely to protect the residual tooth structure, it may cause future cohesive bonding failure. An increase in the elastic modulus of the material may benefit the durability of bonding between the endocrown and the abutment tooth; however, it may cause fracture of the residual tooth structure.  相似文献

This clinical report describes the rehabilitation of a patient with a history of mandibulectomy that involved the use of a fibula free flap and an implant-supported fixed complete denture. A recently introduced material, polyetherketoneketone (PEKK), was used as the framework material for the prosthesis, and the treatment produced favorable esthetic and functional results.  相似文献

Statement of problem

The design of porous tantalum trabecular metal–enhanced titanium (TM) dental implants promises improved osseointegration, especially when grafting materials such as demineralized bone matrix are used; however, studies are lacking.

Purpose

The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare TM implants with conventional titanium alloy (Ti) implants with and without demineralized bone matrix in terms of peri-implant bone remodeling in the first year after implant loading.

Material and methods

A chart review was used for all patients receiving Tapered Screw-Vent Ti and TM implants. Implants were placed and restored by a single provider between 2011 and 2015. Peri-implant bone remodeling was compared by using a paired t test (α=.05).

Results

A total of 82 patients received 205 implants, 44 TM and 161 Ti implants (control). No implants failed in the TM group (survival rate of 100%), and 3 implants in total, 1 immediate, failed in the Ti groups (survival rate of 98.1%). TM implants exhibited a 0.28-mm bone gain on average, whereas the control group demonstrated 0.20 mm of marginal bone loss after the first year of implant loading. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the odds of having bone loss was 64% less (odds ratio: 0.36; 95% confidence interval: 0.14-0.94) in the TM group than in the Ti group after controlling for bone grafting, implant location, immediate placement, bone type, and pretreatment bone level.

Conclusions

TM implants exhibited less peri-implant bone loss than the control Ti implants.  相似文献

This clinical report describes the management of a patient who had an excessively tight reconstructed lip because of oral cancer surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. The presented technique used an intraoral scanner for a preliminary impression and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology for preliminary laboratory procedures. This digital impression technique may reduce patient discomfort.  相似文献

Statement of problem

After oral cancer surgery, tissue defects can cause deformity and limited mobility, complicating many essential functions. For patients with mandibular, tongue, and oral floor defects, evidence regarding the effects of maxillofacial prosthetics on their oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) is lacking. Therefore, maxillofacial prosthetic reconstruction has been implemented with no clear treatment goals.

Purpose

The purpose of this clinical study was to identify factors affecting the improvement of OHRQoL by using maxillofacial prosthetic treatment after surgery to repair maxillary, mandibular, tongue, and oral floor defects.

Material and methods

All individuals who agreed to maxillofacial prosthetics after surgery for oral cancer were enrolled. Oral function and OHRQoL were evaluated before maxillofacial prosthesis placement and 1 month after final adjustments. The oral functions evaluated included masticatory function, swallowing function, and articulatory function. The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-J54) was used to evaluate OHRQoL. Factors affecting changes in the OHIP-J54 score for participants’ background and oral functions before and after treatment were analyzed through logistic regression analysis (stepwise method).

Results

Participants included 34 men and 16 women with an average age of 72.4 ±8.7 years. “Psychological discomfort” was correlated with the patient’s sex and masticatory function. “Physical disability” was related to articulatory function. “Handicap” was related to the swallowing function. “Additional Japanese questions” were related to the patient’s sex.

Conclusions

Participants’ sex and their oral functions, including masticatory, swallowing, and articulatory functions, were associated with improved OHRQoL because of maxillofacial prosthetics after surgery for oral cancer.  相似文献

Statement of problem

Conventional cast metal posts and cores are fabricated using direct and indirect techniques, both of which need impression materials and considerable laboratory work. Digital techniques have the capacity to substitute for conventional methods in fabricating the posts and cores. However, the accuracy of restorations resulting from a digital workflow is unknown.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the retention of posts and cores fabricated using full-digital, half-digital, and conventional techniques and to define the accuracy of each technique in terms of the apical gap.

Method and materials

Thirty newly extracted mandibular first and second premolar teeth were selected for this in vitro study. Impressions were made using direct acrylic resin patterns (conventional), indirect silicone impressions of the intracanal which scanned with a 3Shape laboratory scanner (half digital), and intracanal scan posts captured with an intraoral 3Shape scanner (full digital). Casting and milling were conducted for the conventional impression and digital scans. The obtained posts were cemented using zinc phosphate cement. A universal pullout test was used to measure retention at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. The apical gap of each post in the canals was defined with parallel digital radiography. The data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test (α=.05) and Mann-Whitney test at the adjusted α=.016.

Results

Significant differences were found among the conventional, full-digital, and half-digital techniques in terms of the apical gap (0.11, 0.29, and 0.66 mm; P<.001) and retention (171.6 ±1.9, 107.1 ±5.6 and 91.8 ±6.6 N; P<.001). The correlation between gap and retention in conventional (P=.43), full-digital (P=.09), and half-digital techniques (P=.06) was not statistically significantly different.

Conclusions

The conventional technique was more accurate and resulted in higher retention than both the full- and half-digital techniques. However, the retention and gap of all the posts fell within clinical guidelines.  相似文献

Statement of problem

The effects of toothbrushing (B) and thermocycling (TC) on the surface texture of different materials with various fabrication processes have been investigated. However, studies of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) ceramic restorations are limited.

Purpose

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of B and TC on the color stability and surface roughness of extrinsically characterized and glazed CAD-CAM ceramic restorations.

Material and methods

Lithium disilicate CAD ceramic (n=90) and zirconia ceramic (n=90) were studied. All specimens were crystallized/sintered, characterized, and glazed following the manufacturer’s recommendation. The specimens were divided into 9 different groups: B, TC, and a combination of B plus TC (B+TC). Brushing was performed at 50?000, 100?000, and 150?000 cycles, simulating an oral environment of 5, 10, and 15 years. Thermocycling was performed at 6000, 12?000, and 18?000 cycles, simulating an oral environment of 5, 10, and 15 years. Brushing plus TC was performed with the combination of the 50?000 cycles of B, then 6000 cycles of TC, and 10?000 cycles of B, then 12?000 cycles of TC, and 15?000 cycles of B, then 18?000 cycles of TC. The color and surface roughness of each specimen were measured before and after all interventions with simulated cycles. Color differences (ΔE) and surface roughness (ΔRa) data were analyzed using 2-way ANOVA, followed by the least significant difference test (α=.05). The correlation between ΔE and ΔRa was statistically analyzed using the Pearson correlation analysis.

Results

Within the lithium disilicate CAD groups, intervention did not result in any significant differences in color change (P>.05). Within the zirconia groups, a 15-year clinical simulation revealed significantly higher ΔE values than a simulated 5-year exposure (P=.017). Increased simulated cycles showed significantly higher Ra values for all groups. Within the zirconia groups, B revealed significantly smoother surfaces than TC (P<.001) and B+TC interventions (P<.001). For the zirconia, simulating B+TC for15 years revealed significantly higher Ra values than the groups of B+TC for 5 years (P<.001) and B+TC for 10 years (P=.003). No correlation (lithium disilicate CAD, r=.079; P=.462; zirconia, r=.001; P=.989) was found between the color change and surface roughness.

Conclusions

For both lithium disilicate CAD and zirconia, color changes were below the selected clinical perceptible threshold (ΔE=2.6) after all intervention and simulated cycles. All mean surface roughness measurements were below 0.2 μm. Generally, the surface of both lithium disilicate CAD and zirconia became rougher. No correlation was found between color difference and surface roughness for either material.  相似文献
