ABSTRACT
Introduction: Rehabilitation of patients with flabby ridgesposes a great amount of difficulty for a prosthodontist. Asthe flabby tissues easily gets distorted while impressionmaking, the dentures fabricated on such foundations are oftencompromised in its retention and stability.Case report: Liquid supported denture fabricated usingmodified window impression technique in this case usesmucostatic impression technique where flabby tissue is locatedand the denture base is covered with a preshaped, closed fittingflexible PVC sheet which help in continued adaptation of thedenture to the mucosa in the resting and functional states.Conclusion: Liquid supported denture fabricated usingmodified window impression technique can stand a betteroption in case of flabby ridges while considering conventionalprosthodontics. This concept can further improve the patient’scomfort and acceptance because of uniform distribution ofmasticatory forces.
ABSTRACT
Severely resorbed ridges with flabby mucosa often poses great challenge for Prosthodontist in providing a complete denture which is functionally acceptable and causes minimal trauma to the underlying tissues. Liquid supported denture can be a permanent solution in edentulous patients with diabetes, xerostomia and atrophied ridge. Liquid-supported dentures will have optimal stress distribution during masticatory function.he aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of different lengths of time of passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) in removing calcium hydroxide (CH) paste from root canal, using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM/EDS).
ABSTRACT
Liquid supported denture can be a permanent solution in edentulous patients with atrophied ridge. A complete denture is designed so that the base is covered with a pre-shaped, close fitting flexible foil containing a thin film of high viscosity liquid. Liquid-supported dentures will have optimal stress distribution during masticatory function. It will act as a continuous reliner for the denture and thus has an advantage over the conventional denture.
ABSTRACT
Liquid supported denture can be a permanent solution in edentulous patients with diabetes, xerostomia and atrophied ridge. A liquid-supported denture was planned for maxillary arch and neutral zone concept for fabrication of contour of the polished surfaces of mandibular denture. Liquid-supported dentures will have optimal stress distribution during masticatory function. The neutral zone technique provides muscular harmony over the denture stability. Liquid supported denture will act as a continuous reliner for the denture and thus has an advantage over the conventional denture. Neutral zone technique is an alternative approach for the construction of mandibular dentures where there is atrophic ridge and a history of denture instability.
ABSTRACT
Flabby ridges commonly occur in edentulous patients. Inadequate retention and stability of a complete denture are the often encountered problems in these patients. A liquid supported denture due to its flexible tissue surface allows better distribution of stress and hence provides an alternate treatment modality in such cases. This case report presents the use of a liquid supported denture in a patient with completely edentulous maxillary arch with flabby tissue in anterior region opposing a partially edentulous mandibular arch.
