Evolution of oral cancer treatment in an andalusian population sample: Rehabilitation with prosthetic obturation and removable partial prosthesis

2017

BACKGROUND Radical surgical resection as a treatment modality for oral cancer often leads to an extensive deficit in both the maxillary and mandibular levels, where the use of a palatal obturator prosthesis (POP) or removable partial denture (RPP). The aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment with POP and RPP in patients treated for oral cancer in the Unit of Prosthetic Rehabilitation of the University Hospital Virgen del Rocio in a period of 20 years. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective descriptive study during the years 1991 and 2011 analyzing oral cancer type, characteristics, treatment and follow-up. The sample consisted of patients whose tumor had previously been removed and who …

Small-diameter titanium Grade IV and titanium-zirconium implants in edentulous mandibles: three-year results from a double-blind, randomized controll…

2015

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare crestal bone-level changes, soft tissue parameters and implant success and survival between small-diameter implants made of titanium/zirconium (TiZr) alloy or of Grade IV titanium (Ti) in edentulous mandibles restored with removable overdentures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a randomized, controlled, double-blind, split-mouth multicenter clinical trial. Patients with edentulous mandibles received two Straumann bone-level implants (diameter 3.3 mm), one of Ti Grade IV (control) and one of TiZr (test), in the interforaminal region. Implants were loaded after 6-8 weeks and removable Locator-retained overdentures were placed within 2 weeks of l…

Tooth implant-supported removable denture: a systemaric review

2017

Purpose: The aim of this systematic review is to verify whether tooth-implant supported removable dentures (TISRD) can really be proposed to patients as a successful alternative to traditional prosthetic therapy. Methods: This systematic review was carried out following the PRISMA guidelines and the studies were selected by PubMed and Scopus. The keywords were “tooth-implant connection,” “removable denture,” “removable dental prosthesis,” “tooth and implant supported removable dentures,” “partial dentures,” and “overdenture.” The outcomes sought in the potentially eligible studies were the survival rate of TISRD, the patient satisfaction, presence of biological and technical complications; …

Candida-associated denture stomatitis

2010

Candida albicans is a dimorphic yeast strongly gram positive able to live as normal commensal organism in the oral cavity of healthy people. It is the yeast more frequently isolated in the oral cavity. Under local and systemic factors related to the host conditions, it becomes virulent and responsible of oral diseases known as oral candidiasis. It has been shown that the presence of denture is a predisposing factor to the onset of pathologies related to C. albicans. Clinical studies have shown that C. albicans is not only able to adhere to the mucous surfaces, but also to stick to the acrylic resins of the dental prostheses. Both the plaque accumulated on the denture and the poor oral hygie…

A New System for Choosing the Form and Size of Complete Denture Anterior Teeth

2016

Introduction: In the absence of pre-extraction records, the choice of the size an form of anterior complete denture teeth can be extremely subjective. Several clinical and statistical parameters are usually used for choosing the correct size and form of the complete denture anterior teeth. Clinical Innovation: The technique consists of a system that allows the dentist to choose and, if necessary, easily change the dental mold during maxillomandibular recording session. The unique feature of the system is that six teeth of each mold are represented by veneers, which are connected to each other on the lingual surface by a fiber that allows each veneer some degree of movement. Discussion: This…

Cutting efficency of a new diamond bur for tooth preparation

2003

Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the cutting efficiency of a recently introduced diamond bur (314.S-6878.016, Komet Brasseler) for tooth preparation with its conventional variant (314.6878.016). Both burs have the same diameter, profile and diamond grains (160µm), but the 6878 have a polygonal section at the cutting portion level; this is claimed to have a percussion effect which can improve the hard tissue removal. Materials and methods: four burs from each type have been selected. Tablets made of human tooth fragments embedded in epoxy resin (4 to 1 w/w ratio) were used as test specimens. Their abrasion resistance is about 14% higher than that of the dentin. The burs were m…
