3D-printed denture base resins: Glazing as an alternative to improve surface, mechanical, and microbiological properties.

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of glazing denture base resins (heat-polymerized and 3D-printed) on surface, mechanical, and microbiological properties.

Materials And Methods: Discs (10 × 3 mm) and bars (64 × 10 × 3.3 ± 0.

Targeting bonding protocols to increase the bond between acrylic resin or 3D printed denture bases and prefabricated or 3D printed denture teeth.

Statement Of Problem: The difference in chemical composition between denture base resin and denture teeth requires the development of bonding protocols that increase the union between the materials.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the impact of different bonding protocols on the bond between heat-polymerized and 3-dimensionally (3D) printed acrylic resin denture bases and acrylic resin prefabricated and 3D printed artificial teeth.

Material And Methods: Four types of artificial teeth were evaluated: prefabricated acrylic resin (VITA MFT) and 3D printed (Cosmos TEMP, PRIZMA 3D Bio Denture, and PrintaX AA Temp) bonded to 20×24-mm cylinders of heat-polymerized (VipiWave) and 3D printed (Cosmos Denture, PRIZMA 3D Bio Denture, and PrintaX BB Base) denture bases.

Device trueness in passivity and misfit of CAD-CAM frameworks: Conventional versus printed casts.

Statement Of Problem: Obtaining a passive and well-adapted framework is challenging when intraoral scanning edentulous arches with multiple implants. The trueness of the printed casts is unclear.

Purpose: The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the trueness of frameworks made from conventional and printed casts regarding clinical passivity and misfit.

Conventional and digital impressions for complete-arch implant-supported fixed prostheses: time, implant quantity effect and patient satisfaction.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare the effect of impression type (conventional vs digital) and the number of implants on the time from the impressions to the generation of working casts of mandibular implant-supported fixed complete-arch frameworks, as well as on patient satisfaction.

Materials And Methods: 17 participants, 3 or 4 implants, received 2 types of digital impression methods (DI) and conventional (CI). In DI, two techniques were performed: scanning with the scan bodies (SC) and scanning with a device attached to the scan bodies (SD) (BR 10 2019 026265 6).

Incidence and risk factors for non-adaptation of new mandibular complete dentures: a clinical trial.

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.

Factors associated with edentulous patients' willingness about implant-supported complete denture: a multivariate analysis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors influencing edentulous patients' willingness about mandibular implant-supported complete denture.

Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 117 bimaxillary edentulous patients wearing removable complete dentures (CDs). Patients were assessed concerning denture-related items (number of previous mandibular CDs, previous denture wearing period, dentures maker professional, and regular wearing of previous mandibular dentures) and individual-related aspects, such as mandibular edentulousness period, mandibular bone height, and willingness to the use of mandibular implant-supported complete denture.

Impact of artificial teeth occlusal morphology on bimaxillary denture treatment in elderly: a clinical trial.

Purpose: To evaluate the performance of complete dentures (CD) with anatomical and nonanatomical teeth in completely edentulous elderly individuals regarding oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), satisfaction, masticatory performance (MP), need for adjustment after CD placement, and patient preference for occlusal type.

Materials And Methods: A randomized crossover clinical trial comprising 50 edentulous elderly individuals was conducted. The participants were divided into two groups: AT-NT (rehabilitated initially with anatomical teeth and 3 months later with nonanatomical teeth) and NT-AT (rehabilitated initially with nonanatomical teeth and 3 months later with anatomical teeth).

Improvement in Quality of Life of Elderly Edentulous Patients with New Complete Dentures: A Systematic Review.

Purpose: To evaluate whether treatment with new complete dentures improves quality of life in elderly patients.

Materials And Methods: A literature search was conducted in the MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, LILACS, SciELO, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases using specific keywords for relevant articles published up to March 2018. Three reviewers obtained the data and compared the results from reports that evaluated denture wearers 60 years of age or older whose old dentures were replaced with new ones.

Comparative evaluation of peri-implant tissues in patients wearing mandibular overdenture with different implant platforms.

Background: The poor hygiene of peri-implant tissues causes inflammation at tissue-implant interface, which may impair the rehabilitation success. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of external hexagon and Morse taper implants on peri-implant health in patients wearing mandibular overdentures for 1 year.

Materials And Methods: A total of 46 implants were evaluated, 28 external hexagon and 18 Morse taper.

Technical Quality of Complete Dentures: Influence on Masticatory Efficiency and Quality of Life.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of the technical quality of conventional complete dentures (CD) on masticatory efficiency and quality of life (QoL) of denture wearers during a 1-year follow-up.

Materials And Methods: A prospective clinical trial with 32 edentulous patients (mean age of 60.2 years) wearing mandibular and maxillary dentures was conducted.

Inhibitory effect of cranberry extract on periodontopathogenic biofilm: An integrative review.

Background: Combating biofilm-dependent oral infections involves the use of synthetic antibiotics, which are often associated with bacterial resistance and adverse effects. As a result, herbs such as cranberry have emerged as an alternative treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate, through an integrative literature review, the effectiveness of cranberry extract on cultures and biofilms of periodontopathogenic bacteria.
