Fenestrated Denture: A Grace Option To edentulous Patient Wael M. Zakaria International Journal of Dental Sciences and Research. 2017 5 (2). doi: 10.12691/ijdsr-5-2-4 Keywords: fenestrated denture, bone resorption, edentulism Context: Edentulism can lead directly to impairment, functional limitation, physical, psychological, and social disability, and handicap. Edentulism was found to have a significant effect on residual ridge resorption, which leads to a reduction in the height of alveolar bone and the size of the denture bearing area. Fenestrated denture is a concept which preserves remaining teeth. This case report discusses the advantages of exploitation few remaining teeth to minimize alveolar ridge resorption and improvement of retention and support through using fenestrated denture which overcomes many problems encountered by complete denture and removable partial denture patients.

Management of Narrow edentulous Space of Two Missing Teeth in Maxillary Aesthetic Zone Using Implant as Abutment with a Cantilevered Tooth - a Case Report Dinesh Ram Raja, Thiyaneswaran Nesappan International Journal of Dental Sciences and Research. 2014 2 (4). doi: 10.12691/ijdsr-2-4-2 Keywords: implant, cantilever, splinted crowns Context: ...the mouth. The use of implants with single crowns may not be always successful in replacing two missing teeth in an insufficient edentulous span. Hence use of single implants with two splinted crowns with a cantilevered tooth is critical for the success of the treatment... Abstract Full Text (PDF) [Epub] Full Text (HTML)

Surrogate Request for Visual Brand Identification for a Completely edentulous Patient with Dementia Khurshid Mattoo, Puneet Mahajan, Nishant Gaba American Journal of Medical Case Reports. 2014 2 (9). doi: 10.12691/ajmcr-2-9-8 Keywords: self-feeding, complete denture, occlusal surfaces, artificial resin teeth Context: Aging of the brain brings decline in memory and thinking. The condition ranges from mild to severe with no clear distinct border. Waning in cognitive skills causes’ functional impairment, which if neglected could lead to problems of self-feeding and self-care. Non-verbal communication is an essential component that promotes initiation of self-care. This article describes a rare case of an elderly female patient who was successfully able to remind herself about self-feeding with the help of a complete denture prosthesis that had a visual brand identifier incorporated on the occlusal surfaces of the artificial teeth.

Therapeutic Approaches for Managing Prosthetic Instability in the Fully edentulous Mandible Rabab Elabdouli, Fatima Zahra Ghazzar, Samira Bellemkhannate International Journal of Dental Sciences and Research. 2024 12 (3). doi: 10.12691/ijdsr-12-3-1 Keywords: edentulous patient, resorbed ridge, implantology, piezography, tooth supported overdenture Context: The stability of removable full dentures is critical for successful prosthetic rehabilitation in all clinical settings. Overdentures offer an interesting alternative, especially when additional retention mechanisms are required to improve masticatory efficiency, stability and delay ridge reduction. Abutment teeth are essential for transmitting masticatory forces, preserving alveolar bone, mucosa and proprioception. Complete mandibular dentures with retention systems require adequate support, and implant treatment may be considered when significant resorption compromises stability and retention. Pre-implant clinical evaluation factors include the patient's general condition, bone status, and financial situation. Dental implant therapy and piezography are both viable options for improving denture stability, with piezography focusing on muscle balance through appropriate denture tooth placement. The use of piezographic impressions to utilize the neutral zone for mandibular denture stability is well established, with studies demonstrating improved fit, comfort, and phonation clarity compared to conventional techniques.
