The telescopic denture is one possible solution for prosthetic rehabilitation for a partially dentate arch with few remaining teeth, which is the reason why it is usually considered in elderly patients. The system of double crowns consists of the male component of attachment or patrix, which is cemented to the abutment tooth, and the female component of attachment or matrix, which is the removable part of the restoration. Retention force represents resistance to those forces which tend to separate the partial denture and supporting tissue in the occlusal direction. Its optimal value is 5–9 N per each patrix and it should strictly be between these limits as a stronger or weaker force will endanger the functionality of the denture or damage the supporting tissue of the abutment teeth. Objective: The goal of this study was to establish the exact value of the individual and total retention force of the completed telescopic system. Method: The Bredent dynamometer was used for measuring these values. The study involved measuring the individual force of separation of 50 patrix–matrix components, and total force of 20 partial dentures of various designs retained by double crowns made in the Dental Laboratory of the Clinic for Prosthetic Dentistry, Faculty of Stomatology, Belgrade University. The research was carried out in the period from January 2006 to October 2006. Results and conclusion: The results showed different values of separation force – from very low values to those exceeding optimal limits. A reduction in the force of separation is necessary in the case of excessive tightness. If there was looseness between patrix and matrix, the cylindrical components of double crowns need to be lined by a suitable composite material. 相似文献

doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2010.00381.x Effect of denture adhesive on the micro‐organisms in vivo Background: Denture adhesives increase the retention and stability of dentures in edentulous patients, especially in cases where salivary flow is impaired or in the management of traumatised oral mucosa. Objectives: The effect of a denture adhesive on the oral flora at different time intervals. Method: Thirty denture‐wearing patients were involved in this study. While half of the group received a denture adhesive, the other half did not. At baseline, 1 and 2 months after delivering the dentures, smear samples were obtained from the saliva, palate and the dentures. Candida albicans, Candida krusei, Candida glabrata, Candida spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Moraxella catarrhalis, α‐haemolytic streptococci, β‐haemolytic streptococci, Pneumococcus aureus, S. anginosus, S. intermedius, S. constellatus, S. sanguis, S. gordonii, S. mitis, S. mutans, S. salivarius, and yeasts were investigated. The data were statistically analysed using anova and repeated measures. Results: Most types of the micro‐organisms were not seen and could not be analysed statistically except α‐haemolytic streptococci and C. albicans. No statistically significant difference was found for α‐haemolytic streptococci and C. albicans in saliva, palate and the denture at all time intervals. Conclusions: Prolonged use of the denture adhesive tested up to 2 months did not yield to increase in micro‐organisms of the oral flora. 相似文献

doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2009.00345.x In vivo assessment of the effect of an adhesive for complete dentures on colonisation of Candida species Objective: Denture adhesives have long been recognised by denture wearers as a useful adjunct to denture retention and stability. The objective of the present study was to evaluate, in vivo, the effect of a denture adhesive on oral quantities of Candida species by determination of absolute counts of colony‐forming units (CFU) per ml of saliva of individuals who use this denture adhesive for a period of 14 days. Materials and methods: Twenty‐four individuals were randomised in two equal groups of 12 (test and control), with the individuals of the test group using the adhesive for 14 days. Samples of saliva were collected from all individuals on days 0 (initial), 7 and 14. Aliquots of saliva were diluted and plated in duplicate on Sabouraud dextrose agar with chloramphenicol and incubated for 37°C for 48 h, the CFU/ml were counted in the individuals of each group and the data of each group were compared at the different time periods and analysed statistically by the non‐parametric Mann‐Whitney U‐test (α ≤ 5%). Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the test and control groups during the test periods. Conclusion: Within of the limitations of this study, the data suggested that the denture adhesive tested did not significantly alter the oral microbiota during the 14‐day trial period. 相似文献

doi:10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2009.00323.x Assessment of changes in oral health‐related quality of life among patients with complete denture before and 1 month post‐insertion using Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index Objective: Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) is a 12‐item measure of “patient‐reported oral functional problems” intended for use in the assessment of the effectiveness of dental treatment. Design and Setting: As there is scanty literature available on GOHAI in the Indian population, the present study was undertaken to assess the changes in GOHAI before and 1 month after placement of dentures in completely edentulous patients reporting to a dental hospital at Indore, India. Measurements: The GOHAI questionnaire was completed by the examiner who interviewed the patients (n = 35) before placement of complete dentures and 1 month later. Mean, median values were calculated and the data were analysed using Wilcoxon signed‐rank test. Results: When overall mean was considered, the GOHAI scores increased from 27.48 to 30.19 (p = 0.002; highly significant). Conclusion: Patients reported improvement in functional changes after placement of complete dentures. 相似文献

doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2011.00500.x Effects of denture maintenance on satisfaction levels of Taiwanese elderly using removable partial dentures: a pilot study Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between patient satisfaction with removable partial dentures and denture maintenance by patients, including regular application of denture adhesives and cleansers. Background: The success of removable partial dentures depends on patient satisfaction with dentures and their regular denture maintenance. Materials and methods: Demographic information, the Oral Impacts on Daily Performance (OIDP) indicator and details of denture maintenance (including the use of denture cleansers and adhesives) were collected from 193 (41.5% men and 58.5% women) participants by using questionnaires. A dentist performed oral examinations to evaluate denture function according to the OIDP items photographically and recorded the number of remaining teeth and Kennedy’s classification. Results: Most participants were satisfied with their removable partial dentures and tended to have higher satisfaction levels than the dentist’s estimation. Further, those using denture adhesives and cleansers had higher satisfaction levels than those not using such denture maintenance. Conclusions: Appropriate education regarding denture use is important because regular denture maintenance by patients affects their degree of satisfaction with dentures, as well as the dentist’s skill and the patient’s oral condition. Dentists could use this information to predict the potential success of dentures. 相似文献

doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2011.00557.x The needs of denture‐brushing in geriatrics: clinical aspects and perspectives Introduction: Oral and denture hygiene are often defective in particular with dependent persons such as geriatric subjects. The reasons are the lack of hygiene education of the subjects or those caring for them. Consequently, oral hygiene is often neglected, resulting in poor oral health and an increase in the presence of local or general infections. Objective: This paper is a report of brushing effectiveness on microbial biofilm deposits on dentures of subjects participating in a specific oral hygiene programme. Materials and methods: Thirty‐nine dentures of 30 subjects were assessed for 2 weeks following an educational brushing programme. Microbial biofilm was recovered using fluoresceine and then scanned and quantified by ‘Mesurim’ software three times: before study, after 1 and 2 weeks. Results: The repeated measurement procedures showed a decrease in the percentage of biofilm present (F = 15, p < 0.001) whatever the type of denture (partial or complete) and for all biomaterials. Conclusion: Regular denture‐brushing can improve local hygiene. Consequently, decreasing the biofilm surface can reduce the prevalence of oral pathogens, thereby contributing to the general prevention of the risks of infections such as pneumotisis. 相似文献

doi:10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2009.00329.x Experiments on in vivo biofilm formation and in vitro adhesion of Candida species on polysiloxane liners Objectives: Microorganisms may colonise polysiloxane soft liners leading to bio‐deterioration. The aim of this study was to investigate in vitro adhesion and in vivo biofilm formation of Candida species on polysiloxane surfaces. Methods: The materials used in this study were Molloplast B, GC Reline soft, Mollosil Plus, Silagum Comfort and Palapress Vario. The in vitro retention of clinical isolates of Candida albicans to the relining and denture‐base materials by microscopic (scanning electron microscopy, SEM), conventional culturing methods and antimicrobial properties of these materials were studied. Candida found on materials and mucosa following long‐term use were identified and quantified, and biofilms covering the surfaces were investigated by SEM. Results: There was a significant decrease in the number of cells attached in vitro to saliva‐coated surfaces compared with non‐treated surfaces. An oral Candida carriage of 78% was found. Candida albicans, C. glabrata, C. intermedia and C. tropicalis were identified. In vivo biofilm formation on the liners appeared as massive colonisation by microorganisms. Conclusions: The results of the in vitro experiments suggest that salivary film influences early colonisation of different C. albicans strains. The film layer also minimises the differences among different strains. The Candida carriage of these patients was similar to denture‐wearing patients without soft liners. 相似文献

Aims: To validate an assessment of qualities of complete dentures that may relate to functional success. Subjects: A consecutive sample of 131 complete denture wearers took part in the study. Setting: a Greek department of prosthetic dentistry. Intervention : All participants and their dentures underwent clinical examination. Design: The Functional Assessment of Dentures (FAD) 10‐item criteria1 describing clinical factors of denture quality was used. The rationale for selecting these particular criteria was to include a range of clinical factors to produce an overall assessment of complete dentures. The 10‐item scale was examined for Internal Consistency and Construct Validity providing a summated rating scale whose total score could be used as an index for the quality of dentures. Results: Both intra‐ and inter‐examiner agreement for all 10 dichotomous scale criteria were all good or very good; the intra‐examiner Kappa values were 0.72 to 0.91 and the inter‐ examiner values were 0.72 to 0.99. Statistical analysis revealed that a 7‐item summated rating scale could be constructed which has marginally better internal consistency (reliability) and Construct Validity with fewer questions. Conclusions: The FAD criteria1 can be used to give good repeatability. The adjustments made to the original summation scale, if confirmed by new studies, would further increase the practical utility of a FAD index for general dentists. In due course with data from future studies, discrimination on weighting of items will be appropriate to relate the impact of denture quality on quality of life. 相似文献

Objectives: Wear of attachments leads to a loss of retention and potentially reduces the function of complete dentures. This study evaluated the retention force changes of different prefabricated attachment systems for implant‐supported overdentures to estimate the wear constancy and applicability in clinical practice. Methods: Four prefabricated attachment systems were tested [Group SG: retentive ball attachment (Straumann, Switzerland) with gold matrix, Group ST: retentive ball attachment (Straumann, Switzerland) with titanium spring matrix, Group IB: UNOR i‐Ball with Ecco matrix (UNOR, Switzerland) and Group IMZ: IMZ®‐TwinPlus ball attachment with gold matrix (DENTSPLY Friadent, Germany)]. Ten samples of each system were subjected to 10 000 insertion‐separation cycles. Results: Results showed that all types of attachments showed wear, which led to a loss of retention force after an initial increase at the beginning of the wear simulation. Attachments with a plastic retention insert or gold matrices underwent the smallest changes in retention force. The titanium spring system showed the largest changes in retention force and a greater variation between the different cycles and specimen. This behaviour is probably caused by a large fitting tolerance of the titanium spring. Conclusions: Attachment systems which possess a male and female component of different material composition are preferable. They show smaller changes in the retention force. For retention force increase and wear compensation, an attachment system should be adjustable. 相似文献

doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2010.00428.x In vivo biofilm formation on a soft denture liner in elderly patients with controlled diabetes Objectives: This in vivo study evaluated the influence of controlled diabetes on biofilm formation on a soft denture liner in elderly patients. Background: Soft denture lining materials are more susceptible to microbial colonisation than denture base acrylic resins. Especially in the elderly, several predisposing factors may accumulate leading to an increased probability of biofilm development that may result in candidiasis, a significant clinical oral disease. Materials and methods: Volunteers wearing complete dentures were divided into two groups (n = 20): diabetic patients with controlled glycaemia, and healthy patients. In both groups, a silicone‐based soft liner was placed in a recess created at the base of the maxillary dentures. Subjects cleaned the prosthesis three times a day. Biofilm formed on the liner was quantified at various time points (baseline, two, four and six weeks). Data were analysed by two‐way repeated measures anova and Tukey’s test (α = 0.05). Results: There was no statistical difference in biofilm formation for any of the time points between controlled diabetes patients and healthy patients. Conclusion: The results suggest that the control of diabetes in elderly patients provides the same levels of biofilm formation when compared to healthy individuals. 相似文献

doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2011.00550.x Elderly complete denture wearers: a social approach to tooth loss Objectives: To correlate emotional reactions to tooth loss with denture satisfaction attributes in elderly complete denture wearers. Background: Total tooth loss is a serious life event, and poor oral health has an impact on daily life. Edentulism treated by rehabilitation with dentures can have a positive effect on patients’ self‐image and social behaviour. Methods: A group of 80 edentulous subjects undergoing routine prosthetic care in a Greek Department of Prosthetic Dentistry were interviewed using two structured questionnaires. The first questionnaire explored reactions to tooth loss, whereas the second measured their subjective experience of complete dentures. The responses to both questionnaires were compared using the statistical package spss v.17. Results: The results showed significant correlation between aspects of tooth loss experience and complete denture satisfaction. Despite the fact that a substantial proportion of patients were satisfied with their complete dentures, some patients experienced increased social and psychological problems related to their edentulousness and the wearing of complete dentures. The aesthetic and functional aspects of complete dentures affected both patients’ social behaviour and self‐confidence. Conclusions: Total tooth loss was not only reflected in patient’s social behaviour and self‐image, but it had a complex and multifaceted impact on satisfaction from complete dentures. 相似文献

doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2010.436.x Clinical evaluation of three denture cushion adhesives by complete denture wearers Objective: The aim of this study was the clinical evaluation of three denture cushion adhesives and whether the results were correlated to Kapur Index for denture‐supporting tissues. Background: Various types of denture adhesives are used among denture patients. However, information on the clinical behaviour of denture cushions is limited. Materials and methods: Thirty edentulous patients had their denture‐supporting tissues scored by Kapur Index and their old dentures replaced. They received three brands of denture cushion adhesives (Fittydent®, Protefix® and Seabond®) and were instructed to use them in a sequence according to the group they were randomly assigned to. Each brand of adhesive was used for 48 h on the lower denture according to the manufacturer’s suggestions. After each brand was used, participants spent 24 h without applying any sort of adhesive. Finally, a questionnaire evaluating and comparing the performance of each brand was filled out. Results: Denture adhesives generally improved patient satisfaction and masticatory ability, especially in participants with poor Kapur Index and those who reported a poor retention of their old dentures. Conclusion: Fittydent® was the most preferred adhesive, showing the best retention and the longest duration of its effect, but also reported as difficult to remove from the denture‐bearing area. 相似文献

Background: Denture base acrylic resin is easily colonised by oral endogenous bacteria and Candida spp., and eventually by extra‐oral species such as Staphylococcus spp., Pseudomonadaceae or members of Enterobacteriaceae. This microbial reservoir can be responsive for denture related stomatitis and aspiration pneumonia, a life‐threatening infection especially in geriatric patients. However, the oral and denture hygiene of dependant elderly individuals is extremely poor. Objective: This in vitro study aimed to determine the per cent of a quaternary ammonium compound heat‐polymerised in acrylic resin necessary to obtain denture base displaying antiseptic properties. Design: Acrylic resin discs containing 2–50% ammonium polymer (Poly 202063A; 0% control) were soaked in artificial saliva for 4 weeks. Resin discs were incubated for 24 hours with Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa [37°C, brain–heart infusion (BHI) broth and phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS) buffer] and Candida albicans (30°C, Schaedler broth), in 15 ml (168 discs) and 600 μl (168 discs) of inoculum. Microbial growth was verified at t 0 hours and t 24 hours. Data were recorded as the mean of three colony forming unit (CFU) numerations. The borderline of antimicrobial effect was determined at 0.1% viable cells. Results: In 600 μl of PBS inoculum, resin specimens had a bactericidal effect (E. coli and S. aureus: 2%; P. aeruginosa: 10%) and a fungicidal effect (C. albicans: 50%). Long‐term stability and toxicity in vivo studies are now required. Conclusion: A 2% quaternary ammonium compound polymerised with a denture acrylic resin displayed antiseptic properties after a 4‐week soaking period in artificial saliva. Such antiseptic denture base could help geriatric patients to improve their oral health. 相似文献

doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2011.00461.x Examination of denture‐cleaning methods based on the quantity of microorganisms adhering to a denture Objectives: To investigate effective denture‐cleaning methods, we examined the relationships between the quantity of microorganisms adhering to dentures and the use of a denture brush and the frequency of use of a denture cleanser. Subjects and Methods: Denture plaque was collected from the mucosal surface of the examined dentures, which were 142 and 80 upper and lower complete dentures, respectively, worn by 96 outpatients (mean age: 71.9 years) of a university hospital and 41 nursing home residents (mean age: 84.8 years). The collected microorganisms were counted in terms of isolated representative colonies that were cultured and identified using standard methods. The use of a denture brush, the frequency of use, and the type and soaking time of denture cleansers as denture‐cleaning methods were surveyed. Results: The quantity of microorganisms was significantly lower in dentures of denture brush users than in those of non‐users in the outpatients (p < 0.01, Mann–Whitney U test). The quantity of microorganisms was significantly lower in the dentures of outpatients who used a denture cleanser daily or 3–4 times a week than in those who used one once or less per month and in the dentures of nursing home residents who used one daily than in those who used one at other frequencies (p < 0.05, Kruskal–Wallis test, followed by Dunn’s Multiple Comparison test). Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it was concluded that the use of a denture brush and daily use of denture cleanser should be recommended to complete dentures wearers as denture‐cleaning methods that effectively reduce the quantity of microorganisms adhering to dentures. 相似文献

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate yeast carriage in healthy denture wearers by swabbing and to evaluate the effect of denture hygiene habits. Materials and methods: Denture wearers (n = 87) without evidence of denture stomatitis or any other oral disease were investigated by separately swabbing the fitting surface of the upper denture and the corresponding palatal mucosa in contact with the appliance. In a group of volunteers, a gel without any active compound was spread on the palatal side of the denture once in every morning for 2 weeks. Results: Screening showed Candida colonisation of upper prosthesis in 75.9% of individuals. The most frequent species isolated were Candida albicans (77.9% of the positive cultures), Candida glabrata (44.1%) and Candida tropicalis (19.1%). Carriage of more than one yeast species was found in 48.5% of the contaminated dentures. There was a statistically significant association between denture contamination and palatal mucosa colonisation (chi‐squared test: p < 0.0001). Repeated swabbings after 1 week as well as during a weekly follow‐up for 1 month confirmed the denture contamination and its degree of severity. A daily gel application produced a yeast‐count decrease to 10% of the initial value after 2 weeks (chi‐squared test: p = 0.0134 and p = 0.2841 for prosthesis and palatal mucosa, respectively). Conclusion: This study documented the reliability of oral swabbing when investigating yeast carriage in healthy denture wearers. Moreover, just a diagnostic tool, sampling upper dentures for Candida could be the opportunity to verify the patient’s compliance to hygiene advice. 相似文献

Gerodontology 2010; doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2009.00351.x Factors affecting the distribution and prevalence of oral mucosal lesions in complete denture wearers Objective: To determine the frequency of the oral lesions related to gender, age, the length of time of denture usage, education level and economic status. Methods: The 153 patients with old complete dentures (CD) were asked to participate in the investigation. The subjects (76 male and 77 female) were 37–85 years of age with a mean age of 61.8 ± 9.8 years. Education, economic status and age factors were estimated in subgroups. The data obtained were evaluated by one‐way anova , Mann–Whitney U‐test, Kruskal–Wallis test, Student’s t‐test and chi‐squared test. The level of statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: The patients who had denture stomatitis and traumatic ulcers were statistically significantly older than the ones who did not have these lesions (p < 0.05). Based on the length of denture usage, patients who had a flabby ridge, fibrous inflammatory hyperplasia, traumatic ulcers (p < 0.01) and denture stomatitis (p < 0.05) were using their dentures statistically significantly longer than the ones who had healthy tissues. Conclusions: The CD wearers should be advised to visit their dentist regularly to prevent oral mucosal lesions due to the changing supporting tissues during the length of denture usage and to improve their quality of life. 相似文献

doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2011.00555.x Nutritional status and oral status of the elderly with dementia: a 2‐year study Objectives: To determine the relationship between denture wearing and nutritional status in the elderly with dementia. Background: There could be a correlation between nutrition, oral health, dietary habits, patients’ satisfaction, and their socio‐economic status in the elderly, and the relationship between compromised oral status and nutritional status in the elderly with dementia. Subjects and methods: A 2‐year follow‐up study of 63 elderly Japanese women with and without dentures from a nursing home was undertaken to investigate their oral, physical and mental, and nutritional status. Results: Each item for 2006 and 2008 in this study showed no significant difference between 2006 and 2008, except the calories/day. The elderly with dementia without complete dentures during the 2 years of the study only significantly decreased the mean of the calories/day. Conclusion: The calories/day of the elderly with dementia without dentures decreased after 2 years. Denture wearing for the elderly with dementia could be necessary to maintain a satisfactory intake of calories. 相似文献

doi: 10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2010.00390.x Correlation between factors associated with the removable partial dentures use and Candida spp. in saliva Objectives: To correlate the presence and number of Candida spp. in the saliva of wearers of removable partial dentures retained with precision attachments with the proportion of metal/acrylic resin present in the dentures. Methods: Saliva samples from 40 removable partial denture wearers (test) and one paired sample of individuals, non‐wearers of any type of removable denture (control) were collected, seeded, and the colony forming units of Candida counted and identified. The metal/acrylic resin proportion of each denture was quantified, using silicone plates pressed over each denture. Results: Candida spp. was found in the saliva of 80% of the individuals in the test group and 65% of the control, with C. albicans being the most prevalent species. The test group presented with the highest number of colony forming units of Candida per ml of saliva, and there was weak correlation between this number and the metal and resin area of the denture (Pearson’s coefficient of correlation). Greater prevalence and a higher number of colony forming units of Candida per ml of saliva occurred in removable partial denture wearers (p = 0.04) with a weak positive correlation between the metal and resin area and the number of colony forming units of Candida per ml of saliva. However, this correlation was more significant for the area of resin. 相似文献

doi:10.1111/j.1741‐2358.2009.00298.x Use of resin‐bonded extracoronal attachments with removable partial denture: case report Introduction: Resin‐bonded extracoronal attachments may be indicated for the abutment teeth of removable partial dentures, especially for anterior teeth when a cingulum rest must be provided. This type of treatment has a series of advantages such as minimal tooth reduction, supragingival margins, favourable stress distribution, and improved aesthetic appearance. Objective: To report a clinical case of oral rehabilitation using a combination of resin‐bonded extracoronal attachments joined by a Dolder bar with a removable partial denture. Case report: A 60‐year‐old male patient with only the canines in the maxillary arch was restored with a combination of resin‐bonded extracoronal attachments joined by a Dolder bar and a removable partial denture. Conclusion: Dentures with resin‐bonded extracoronal attachments can have a number of advantages over traditional clasp‐retained removable partial dentures. 相似文献
