Use of an Impression Technique to Identify Areas of Super Compression Before Installation of New Complete Dentures: A Randomized Double-Blind Trial.

Purpose: To identify pressure areas using an impression technique and to evaluate whether adjustment of dentures prior to installation can decrease ulcer frequency, reduce the number of adjustments, and improve satisfaction with treatment.

Materials And Methods: A total of 50 complete denture users were selected and randomly divided into two groups. Pressure areas were identified in 25 subjects using the impression technique with fluid silicone, and the denture base in these areas was adjusted before installation.

Clinical effect of the high insertion torque on dental implants: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Statement Of Problem: A consensus on the clinical performance in dental implants placed with different insertion torques is lacking.

Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of high insertion torque compared with regular or low torques during dental implant placement in terms of implant survival rate and marginal bone loss.

Material And Methods: Two independent reviewers searched electronic databases for studies published until April 2019.
