Comparison of the linear dimensional accuracy of denture bases cured the by conventional method and by the new press technique.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the linear dimensional accuracy of denture bases processed with the conventional heat-polymerization technique and the Rafael and Saide (RS) tension system, taking a multidirectional approach.

Materials And Methods: Twenty standard edentulous maxillary casts were randomly assigned into two groups. A uniform denture base of 1.

In vivo evaluation of crestal bone heights following implant placement with 'flapless' and 'with-flap' techniques in sites of immediately loaded implants.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare the changes in crestal bone height around implants placed with flapless surgery and with-flap surgery.

Materials And Methods: Ten implants were placed in six patients--five using flapless and five using with-flap techniques. Single-piece root-form implants and a one-stage approach with immediate nonfunctional loading protocol were used.
