Factors related to patient satisfaction with complete denture therapy.

Background: Except for denture quality, many other factors are related to a patient's satisfaction with complete dentures (CDs).

Methods: A total of 222 patients with CDs took a part in this study. A questionnaire divided into 3 parts was completed by both the patients and the dentist, independently.

Corrosion behaviour of the Co-Cr-Mo dental alloy in solutions of different composition and different pH values.

The purpose of this study was to examine how Co-Cr-Mo dental alloy behaves in the solutions of different pH value and different composition over a relatively long period of time. Co-Cr-Mo dental alloy was exposed in vitro to either simulated saliva (phosphate buffer pH 6.0), a highly acidic medium resembling the extreme conditions in the oral cavity (phosphate buffer pH 3.
