Restoring patients' speech is an important goal in complete denture fabrication. For those patients who have difficulty with their speech patterns accommodating to the introduction of a prosthesis, texture in the palatal region may prove helpful. This article describes methods of incorporating palatal rugae in a newly fabricated and existing complete denture.

Introduction: Alterations in occlusal relationships in individuals with complete edentulism considerably disrupt the equilibrium of the stomatognathic system. Evaluation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is crucial during the edentulous phase, as it influences both aesthetic and functional outcomes. This investigation sought to assess alterations in condylar positioning one year after the placement of complete dentures in edentulous patients, with additional objectives to examine variations based on sex and side.

Aim: The current study aimed to assess the oropharyngeal space using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and its effect on airway volume both before and after denture placement.
Materials And Methods: For this investigation, a total of 15 individuals with fully edentulous upper and lower ridges, ranging in age from 40 to 70, were taken into consideration. A recording of the pulmonary function test was made both prior to and following full denture recovery.

Purpose: The primary objective of this retrospective study was to evaluate the survival outcomes of immediately loaded acrylic resin complete arch fixed implant-supported prosthesis (CAFIP) fabricated from the denture conversion protocol. The secondary objective was to evaluate the early implant survival outcomes associated with these prostheses.
Material And Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted to study the clinical outcomes data of immediately loaded conversion prostheses and immediately loaded implants.
