Abstract
The advent of digital workflows has revolutionized oral rehabilitation, offering excellent prosthesis and restoration adaptation while reducing work time. This case report aims to describe a full-arch rehabilitation protocol using mucosa-supported prostheses through a digital workflow. The technique begins with scanning the upper jaw and taking an impression of the lower jaw, followed by scanning to create a digital cast. Next, border molding and the final impression of both arches are performed using a closed-mouth technique, during which the patient is guided to perform lateral and protrusive movements. Subsequently, intraoral scanning of the occlusion and both impressions is conducted, leading to the design of the final dentures with the established occlusion. Finally, the dentures are printed in Formlabs resin specifically designed for dentures. The digital workflow facilitates the manufacturing of mucosa-supported full-arch prostheses effectively. This method allows for the adjustment of the vertical dimension of occlusion, ensures excellent adaptation of the prosthesis to the soft tissues, and provides aesthetic satisfaction for the patient. Additionally, it reduces the number of sessions required to install the definitive prosthesis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to evaluate denture care and hygiene and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among complete denture (CD) wearers in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. METHODOLOGY This cross-sectional study was conducted on CD wearers in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. A pre-tested questionnaire was administered among study participants. Questionnaire was divided in three sections: (1) patients' demographic data, (2) awareness and maintenance of CD and (3) OHRQoL. Independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA test were performed. RESULTS The study included data of 300 participants with 71% of males and 28% of females. Majority of participants (82.7%) cleaned CD daily, removed CD while sleeping (88.0%) and knew that unhygienic dentures can cause oral infection (92.7%). Only 19.3% used denture cleansing tables, 41% used toothpaste, and 60.7% rinsed CD with water. Regarding OHIP-DENT domains, highest score was for functional limitation domain (2.20 ± 1.67) and the lowest for handicap domain (0.94 ± 1.09). The mean OHIP-DENT score of the sample was 12.02 ± 8.52. Females (p = 0.006), participants below 65 years of age (p = 0.029), non-Saudis (p = 0.042), those with university education (p = 0.030) and low monthly income (p = 0.045) and participants who visited dentist due to problem with CD (p = 0.041) demonstrated significantly higher mean OHIP-DENT score. CONCLUSION Majority of participants demonstrated appropriate denture care behaviours because they were aware of the importance of denture care and hygiene. Female gender, age below 65 years, non-Saudi nationality, university education, low monthly income and visiting dentist due to problem were related to poor OHRQoL.

[PMID: 36797082 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2023.01.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2022] [Revised: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Different criteria have been developed and used for the clinician evaluation of removable complete denture (CD) quality. However, the optimal criteria under a specific clinical or research purpose are unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review was to identify the development and clinical parameters of criteria for the clinician evaluation of CD quality and to evaluate the measurement properties of each criterion. MATERIAL AND METHODS An electronic search was conducted through PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews from database inception to April 2022. A hand search was conducted based on the references in the included studies. The measurement properties of the included CD quality criteria were assessed based on the consensus-based standards for the selection of health measurement instruments (COSMIN) checklist and a previous study. The articles that supported the measurement properties of the original CD quality criteria were also included. RESULTS Of the 282 abstracts reviewed, 22 clinical studies were included; 17 original articles that developed a new CD quality criterion and 5 articles that additionally supported measurement properties of the original criterion. There were 18 CD quality criteria with 2 to 11 clinical parameters in each criterion, predominantly denture retention and stability, followed by denture occlusion and articulation, and vertical dimension. Sixteen criteria possessed criterion validity shown by its associations with patient performance or patient-reported outcomes. Responsiveness was reported when a CD quality change was detected after delivery of a new CD, denture adhesive use, or during postinsertion follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Eighteen criteria have been developed for clinician evaluation of CD quality with various clinical parameters, predominantly retention and stability. None of the included criteria met all measurement properties in the 6 assessed domains, but more than half of them had relatively high-quality assessment scores.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim: To determine the needs of the population of the Ternopil region in prosthetics with removable orthopedic dentures and to study the physical and technological properties of different types of base plastics. PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and methods: The needs of Ternopil and Ternopil region population in removable prosthetics were studied on the basis of consolidated annual reports of city and district dental clinics of Ternopil region. Base dental plastics «Ftoraks» (Stoma, Ukraine) and «Villacryl H Plus» (Zermapol, Poland) were used to study the physical and mechanical properties (deformations during compression and tension). RESULTS Results: As a result of our research, we found that the need of the Ternopil region population for removable prosthetics is quite high. When analyzing the choice of designs of removable laminar prostheses, it was found that 64.99 ± 0.14% of patients required the manufacture of partial removable dentures, and 35.01 ± 0.18% - complete removable dentures. A significant difference was found in the physical and technical characteristics of the samples of the studied plastics, which were polymerized by various methods. CONCLUSION Conclusions: Dental base plastic «Villacryl H Plus», which was packaged and polymerized by casting, has significantly higher physical and mechanical properties than dental base plastic «Ftoraks».

Algorithm for Designing a Removable Complete Denture (RCD) Based on the FEM Analysis of Its Service Life. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:7246. [PMID: 36295314 PMCID: PMC9610509 DOI: 10.3390/ma15207246] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2022] [Revised: 10/10/2022] [Accepted: 10/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
(1) Background: The paper addresses the computer simulation and prediction of the service life of the base of removable complete dentures (RCDs) under typical loads caused by biting and chewing food. For this purpose, the finite element method (FEM) was used. It is assumed that various blocks of teeth, such as incisors, canines, premolars and molars, are subjected to cyclic impacts during a human life. (2) Methods: Both symmetric and asymmetric mastication (two- and one-sided loads, respectively) cases were considered. The load level was assumed to be 100 N, which corresponds to the average muscular compression force of typical human jaws. (3) Results: The FEM analysis of the stress-strain state evolution for RCDs under cyclic loads was carried out. Maps of equivalent lines were drawn for the denture base in terms of its durability. A multi-axial criterion was implemented to determine the number of cycles prior to failure by the mechanism of a normal opening mode crack. The FEM-based assessment of the service life of RCDs enabled us to establish the critical stress concentration areas, thereby allowing for further planning for the correction of an occlusal scheme or teeth inclinations. As a result, the service life of RCDs under cyclic loading can be improved. (4) Conclusions: An algorithm for designing RCDs in the case of edentulism based on the FEM simulation using commercial software as part of the procedure is proposed.

Clin Oral Investig 2022; 26:4633-4645. [PMID: 35239016 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-022-04432-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2021] [Accepted: 02/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence and risk factors for non-adaptation of the conventional mandibular complete denture (CMCD). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 108 edentulous patients were rehabilitated with complete dentures (CDs) and followed up at 3- and 6-month intervals. Adaptation was confirmed based on chewing, phonetics, and comfortable swallowing with the CDs. The risk factors among sociodemographic and patient-centered factors were analyzed. Statistical analyses included the chi-square test and then a multivariate analysis. RESULTS After 3 months, 38.0% of patients showed non-adaptation to CMCDs. Non-adaptation was significantly associated with the absence of previous mandibular denture experience (p = 0.042), ulcerations after 15 days of rehabilitation (p < 0.001), and a reduced posterior mandibular ridge (p = 0.035). After 6 months, this incidence decreased to 14.1%. The factors associated with non-adaptation were ulcerative lesions after 15 (p < 0.001) and 30 (p < 0.001) days of the delivery of CDs and the non-regular use of mandibular CDs (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The incidence of non-adaptation was higher after 3 months, with reduction after 6 months. Sociodemographic variables did not influence the adaptation. After 3 months, the absence of previous experience, traumatic ulcers, and reduced mandibular ridges hindered the adaptation of patients to mandibular CDs. After 6 months, only the occurrence of ulcerative lesions and non-regular wear of dentures were risk factors for non-adaptation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE A considerable number of patients have difficulties in adapting to the mandibular dentures. Identifying the factors of non-adaptation of the dentures will contribute to increasing the predictability of this critical adaptation period.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the effect of rehabilitation in fully/partially edentulous patients with stage IV periodontitis on oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and systemic health. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic electronic and manual search was conducted. Three authors independently reviewed, selected, and extracted the data. Outcomes were OHRQoL (Oral Health Impact Profile 14 [OHIP-14] and OHIP-49, General Oral Health Assessment Index [GOHAI], visual analogue scale, symptoms registration) and systemic health-related outcomes (incidence and prevalence of systemic diseases, values of systemic disease indicators). Qualitative data were synthesized for OHRQoL and systemic health-related outcomes. Meta-analysis was conducted on available quantitative data. RESULTS The search identified 59 articles (6724 subjects in total). OHRQoL improved across all the studies, irrespective of the number of missing teeth, their location, or treatment modality. Meta-analysis showed significant improvement of OHIP-49 (36.86, p < .01) in manuscripts including subjects affected by periodontitis, consistently with the remaining literature (reduction of score points post rehabilitation: OHIP-14 = 10.52, OHIP-49 = 56.02, GOHAI = 5.40, p < .01 for all). Non-rehabilitated subjects exhibited inferior cognitive status, higher medication intake, and frailty. However, our data are limited and should be interpreted with caution. CONCLUSIONS Oral rehabilitation improves OHRQoL and, potentially, systemic health in edentulous patients. It is unclear whether these findings may be extrapolated to patients with stage IV periodontitis.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Patients and clinicians are aware of the efficacy and benefits of complete dentures, but evidence regarding their longevity is limited. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review was to examine the literature describing the longevity of complete dentures and to review variations in longevity by denture type and duration of follow-up. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four electronic databases were searched by using key terms: MEDLINE, CINAHL (EBSCO), Dentistry and Oral Sciences Databases, and The Cochrane Library. Studies meeting the inclusion criteria were reviewed according to an established protocol and data extracted. Reference lists of identified studies were examined. Risk of bias was assessed by using the AXIS tool. Weighted means and weighted standard deviations were calculated. Pooled complete denture failure proportions were estimated by using random effects models based on the DerSimonian and Laird method. RESULTS The search yielded 21 607 unique abstracts, of which 273 met the inclusion criteria. Assessment of the full-text articles reduced this number to 42. Of these, 24 studies were rated as having low risk of bias and 18 as very low. The weighted mean ±standard deviation longevity of maxillary complete dentures was 10.3 ±3.8 years, of mandibular dentures was 8.6 ±2.6 years, and of both maxillary and mandibular dentures was 10.8 ±4.7 years. The pooled failure proportion for complete dentures observed for 2 years or less was 0.05 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.00-0.10), 5 to 6 years was 0.12 (95% CI: 0.08-0.16), and 10 years or more was 0.41 (95% CI: 0.28-0.53). CONCLUSIONS Complete dentures, fabricated primarily in university settings, were found to have a weighted mean ±standard deviation longevity of 10.1 ±4.0 years. The failure rate of these prostheses increased with denture age, and the longevity of maxillary dentures was greater than that of mandibular dentures.

Abstract
AIMS To compare the effect of new complete dentures (CDs) on self-perceived masticatory ability (MA) and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in frail and nonfrail elders. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty completely edentulous elders were assigned to two groups: frail and nonfrail (n = 10/each). MA was evaluated using a visual analogue scale. OHRQoL was assessed with the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-Edent). Variables were evaluated with volunteers wearing their old and unsatisfactory CDs. Then, a new set of CDs was manufactured and all outcomes were reassessed 2 months after the insertion. Data were analyzed by repeated measures' analyses of variance and Tukey tests. MA for lettuce and peanuts was improved (P < .05) for the frail group after new CD insertion. Psychological discomfort and handicap OHIP-Edent domain improved (P < .05) for both groups after prosthetic treatment. Before treatment, controls reported greater psychological discomfort than the frail group. Meanwhile, the handicap domain score of frail patients improved to a level similar to that of the nonfrail group after treatment. Regardless of frailty, elders showed better MA scores for most food types after treatment and decreased OHIP-Edent domain values. CONCLUSION Self-reported MA and OHRQoL of frail elderly people were greatly improved after new CD use.

Abstract
Aims and Objectives: The aims of this study were to determine oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among elderly people aged 65 and above years from Hafar Al-Batin area, Saudi Arabia, by utilizing Arabic version of Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI-Ar). Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study undertaken from October 2017 to December 2017. A convenience sampling methodology was employed to select the elderly patients aged ≥65 years attending dental clinics of primary health-care centers in five different regions of the Hafar Al-Batin, Saudi Arabia. OHRQoL of the participants was measured using the Saudi Arabian version of GOHAI-Ar. The oral examinations performed to record a total number of remaining natural teeth, complete and removable partial dentures, and fixed partial dentures. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed. Results: A total of 200 elderly participants (M = 157 and F = 43) having mean age (± standard error [SE]) was 69.26 (±0.34) years, participated in the study. Mean ± SE of GOHAI-Ar was 27.68 ± 0.54, physical function 9.12 ± 0.26, pain and discomfort (6.87 ± 0.18), and psychological discomfort (11.69 ± 0.25). Remaining natural teeth and prosthodontic status significantly correlated with pain and discomfort. The presence of prosthesis was found to influence the psychological function. Gender and prosthodontic statuses were found to have significant correlation with OHRQoL. Conclusion: Poor OHRQoL among elderly from Hafar Al-Batin city was found, and presence dental prosthesis showed a positive impact on OHRQoL.

Epifania E, Sanzullo R, Sorrentino R, Ausiello P. Evaluation of Satisfaction Perceived by Prosthetic Patients Compared to Clinical and Technical Variables. J Int Soc Prev Community Dent 2018; 8:252-258. [PMID: 29911064 PMCID: PMC5985683 DOI: 10.4103/jispcd.jispcd_27_18] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2018] [Accepted: 03/29/2018] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to relate the clinical quality of the complete denture and specific anamnestic factors to the level of satisfaction perceived by patients. Also identifying possible prognostic parameters that could be predictive of future satisfaction. Materials and Methods: On the basis of a substantial existing literature, the most appropriate parameters to determine the prosthetic quality have been determined to evaluate the satisfaction perceived by patients about their denture; a completely new questionnaire has been drawn up. Ninety-eight patients have been included in the research, they have undergone a clinical examination, and they have filled out the questionnaire anonymously. The ANOVA test and Pearson correlation test have been employed to relate clinical and anamnestic factors to the overall satisfaction score. Results: The average level of patients’ satisfaction was between “quite satisfied” and “very satisfied.” There is no significant variability of satisfaction related to the type of prosthesis. The ANOVA test did not verify relationships between the overall satisfaction score and the anamnestic data examined. Pearson linear correlation coefficient between the overall prosthetic quality and the general satisfaction perceived by patients is 0.493 (P < 0.01). Extension of the prosthetic body (r = 0.478; P < 0.01) and retention (r = 0305; P < 0.05) are in correlation with the overall patients’ satisfaction. Conclusion: there is a moderately strong relationship between the overall prosthetic quality and the general satisfaction perceived by patients. Particularly, the retention and the adequate extension of the prosthetic body appear to be factors that are most associated with satisfaction. Instead, the anamnestic factors are not related to overall satisfaction score.
