Biting strength and chewing forces in complete denture wearers.

Most studies concur that denture wearers have only about one fifth to one fourth the bite strength and masticatory force of natural dentition subjects. There appears to be a wide range of acceptable chewing forces, as evidenced by the wide variation in bite strength of natural dentition subjects. However, bite strength and masticatory forces in denture wearers fall below the natural dentition range and therefore it is concluded that denture wearers are handicapped in bite force. The occlusal form of the posterior denture teeth did not significantly influence masticatory force.

Three-dimensional analysis of maxillary denture displacement during reline impression procedure.

The contourmeter was used to determine quantitatively the denture displacements caused by various impression materials and techniques during the relining of a maxillary denture. This study indicated the following conclusions. Tissue-conditioning material used with closed-mouth impression technique or light-bodied polysulfide used with either open- or closed-mouth technique caused the least denture displacement in the three dimensions when compared with regular-bodied polysulfide or zinc oxide and eugenol impression materials. Comparing the same impression materials used with either open- or closed-mouth technique showed no significant difference in maxillary denture displacements. A relined complete denture should be remounted on the articulator and the occlusion refined to eliminate occlusal mismatches resulting from three-dimensional denture displacements during relining.

Comparing ridge resorption with various surgical techniques in immediate dentures.

The three surgical techniques of simple tooth extraction and labial plate and intraseptal alveoloplasty were compared. The results were confirmed by statistical analysis. The conclusion of this study clearly indicated that simple tooth extraction is the best surgical approach to be followed to preserve as much of the residual alveolar ridge as possible.
