Changes in vertical dimension of occlusion in conventional and microwave processing of complete dentures.

An investigation was made to compare the increase in vertical dimension of occlusion in complete dentures after processing with conventional and microwave procedures. Lucitone-characterized denture base material was used for 15 sets of complete dentures cured conventionally. Justi-characterized acrylic resin and microliquid were used for 15 sets of complete dentures cured by the microwave procedure. The results of the study showed increases in vertical dimension of occlusion in both methods under 1 mm, which is considered technically acceptable. However, a statistically significant larger increase was present in the microwave technique.

Clinical evaluation of ramus frame and staple bone implants.

Atwood pointed out that "variability of human response (resistance to infection, susceptibility to bone resorption, and psychologic capacity) demands more basic research and clinical trials to improve success." This study can serve as a baseline for further longitudinal studies and controlled clinical research. Barring tissue or systemic complications, the prosthodontist must take the responsibility through sound treatment principles and awareness to ensure continued satisfaction and success of these implant systems.

Beyond classification of behavior types.

House, Sharry, Blum, and Koper classified patients according to behavior types and supplied a behavioral insight into the success and failure of prostheses. Fear/anxiety and need are integral parts of behavior. These entities affect individual patients, depending on the strength of the ego states through which they express their personalities and interact with the dentist. If the dentist and his/her staff become behaviorally astute, a great amount of behavior modification can be achieved and the learning process implemented. This will ensure a higher degree of success in the treatment of prosthodontic patients.

Color matching dentures bases for non-white patients.

A technique has been described which offers an easy and practical approach to the matching of the basic color of the denture base to the basic color of the tissues. Further subtle characterization and customizations are compatible to the technique.
