Dentistry
Aim: This study was two folded: an in-vivo study to compare the retentive properties of Lucitone conventional cured denture base resin and Nature-Cryl MC microwave cured denture base resin and an in-vitro study to compare the internal adaptation, fracture resistance, roughness, hardness and colour stability of these two materials and correlate the laboratory results with each other and with the clinical results. Materials and Methods: Twenty completely edentulous male patients received twenty complete dentures constructed from Lucitone conventional cured denture base resin. The retentive properties of the upper complete dentures were measured using force measurement gauge at one week, one …

Effect Of Two Different Maxillary Treatment Options On Supporting Structures Of Mini Implant Retained Mandibular Overdenture, Fardos N. Rizk
Dentistry
Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate whether maxillary conventional complete denture or narrow diameter implant retained maxillary overdenture is more compatible on opposing crestal bone height surrounding mini implants retaining mandibular overdenture. Materials and Methods: Fourteen male completely edentulous patients received mandibular overdentures retained by four one piece mini implants with ERA attachments placed anterior to the mental foramen. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: Group I received opposing maxillary conventional complete denture and Group II received opposing maxillary overdenture retained by four one piece narrow diameter implants with ball attachments placed in the anterior maxilla. Once patients …
