EMG silent periods in immediate complete denture patients: a longitudinal study.

Jaw muscle silent periods in response to chin taps were recorded from immediate complete denture patients before extraction of a residual anterior dentition, after insertion of the dentures, and three and six months after insertion. After three months' use of the dentures, the mean EMG silent period duration was significantly increased compared to the pre-extraction stage.

An alternative immediate complete denture impression technique.

An alternative immediate denture impression technique for extremely mobile teeth, utilizing amalgam condensers, has been presented. The apically applied pressure on the mobile teeth minimizes the risk of accidental tooth extraction during impression removal.

Interim complete immediate dentures for a patient wearing removable partial dentures.

This article describes a technique used for fabricating temporary (interim) complete dentures for a patient who had been wearing removable partial dentures and whose remaining teeth were to be extracted. Rather than attempt to incorporate the existing removable partial dentures into the interim complete dentures, the dentist used the existing dentures to fabricate acrylic resin teeth for the interim prosthesis.

Longitudinal study of soft-tissue profile changes in patients receiving immediate complete dentures.

The gradual changes in the skeletal and soft-tissue profile of complete denture wearers resulting from residual ridge reduction were studied using profile cephalometric films obtained from 21 subjects during a 2-year period of denture use. The variables for each observation stage were calculated from 58 digitized reference points. During the first 6 months of denture use, a marked anterosuperior rotation of the mandible as a result of ridge resorption caused a similar profile change of the soft-tissue chin and mandibular lip. Continuing ridge reduction resulted in a marked change of mandibular position at the 2-year stage, leading to a pronounced protrusion of the chin and mandibular lip and a more outward position of the maxillary lip.

Impression technique for complete maxillary immediate denture.

A technique for making complete maxillary immediate denture impressions has been described. With this procedure impressions of the edentulous area and remaining dentition can be made in sections and they can be removed from the mouth joined together.

A 2-year electromyographic study of patients with an immediate complete upper and a partial lower denture.

A longitudinal electromyographic (EMG) investigation was performed on thirty subjects provided with an immediate complete upper and a partial lower denture. Electromyographic recordings in maximal clench, light tapping and postural position were obtained from the anterior temporal and masseter muscles before final extractions and 7 weeks, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after denture insertion. The maximal clench activity of the jaw closing muscles showed an average tendency to decrease upon insertion of the dentures, but thereafter significant increases in mean voltages were observed during the first year of denture wear. During the second year no significant changes in EMG clenching force were noted. At the 2-year stage most of the muscles showed significantly greater clench activity than at the post-insertion stage, but did not exceed the pre-extraction level. The jaw muscle activity in light tapping showed no significant mean changes during the observation period. The postural activity tended to decrease during the period of denture wear, the decrease being significant for some of the muscles at the 2-year stage.

Parotid salivary flow rates in two patients during immediate denture treatment.

Parotid salivary flow rates in response to chewing or citric acid stimulation were studied in two patients who had their last maxillary teeth extracted and immediately replaced with complete dentures. The patients were monitored 6 months from the last week before extraction. Parotid salivary flow rate in response to chewing was increased after insertion of the denture. For one of the patients a particularly high output from the parotid gland was found 2 weeks after treatment. Throughout the experiment, parotid salivary flow was higher on the chewing side than on the contralateral side. At the end of the experimental period the dentures were relined. Salivary flow measured immediately after relining was lower than prior to this procedure. An increased salivary response was also observed during citric acid stimulation after transition from the dentate to the denture wearing state. This increase was more marked if the patients had their dentures in situ when the gustatory provocations were performed. It is concluded that parotid salivation increases during masticatory and gustatory stimulation in patients subjected to total extraction and immediate complete denture treatment, and that the presence of a complete denture per se appears to act as an additional mechanical stimulus in the salivary reflexes.
