In this study, oral sensory function in the osseointegrated root form implant-supported prostheses wearers was estimated by measuring occlusal tactile perception threshold of thickness and sensibility threshold against lateral static loading, and comparing with normal dentition subjects and complete denture wearers group. Osseointegrated root form implants seemed to be restored in the sensation to some extent, and so, dental implants restored edentulous patients in a wide meaning. Conclusions were summarized as following. 1. Occlusal tactile perception threshold of thickness was highest in complete denture wearers group, following by implant-supported prostheses wearers group, normal dentition subjects group. 2. In the implant-supported prostheses wearers group, occlusal tactile perception threshold of opposing artificial teeth case was higher than of opposing natural or opposing implantsupported teeth case. 3. Sensibility threshold against lateral loading of complete denture wearers and implantsupported prostheses wearers group was higher than that of normal dentition subject group. 4. In the implant-supported prostheses group, sensibility threshold against lateral loading was not significantly different between upper and lower jaws. 5. In occlusal tactile perception threshold of thickness and sensibility threshold against lateral loading test, there was no regularity among values of each tooth, and no significant difference between anterior and posterior teeth as well.

It is a very important procedure to establish the occlusal plane in the construction of complete denture. So many methods have been utilized to establish the occlusal plane in complete denture prosthodontics. However, no single method seems to fully accepted. This study was aimed to review the literature on establishing the occlusal plane in complete denture prosthodontics, to measure the distance from the lower border of the upper lip to the upper incisal edge and to investigate the correlation between the ala-tragus line and the occlusal plane. The results ware as follows ; 1. The average distance between the lower border of the upper lip and the upper incisal edge was $1.45{\pm}1.28mm$. 2. The distance between the lower border of the upper lip and the upper incisal edge had a tendency to decrease with age. 3. A angle of the ala-tragus line to the occlusal plane measured with Fox plane was $-1.41{\pm}2.33^{\circ}$. 4. The ala-tragus line to occlusal plane was nearly parallel, cosidering curve of spee in the upper natural teeth.

When wearing complete dentures, patients want to function naturally within a physiologically stable range. To do this, recovery of esthetics, biologically stable arrangement and contour, and occlusal contacts with denture stability are necessary. In this case report, a complete denture patient of adverse conditions was presented. To increase stability of the dentures, functional impression was made by border molding using the neutral zone. The dentures were checked for physiological centric relations and stable occlusion. The clinical results showed satisfactory results on function and esthetics.

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.

Complete dentures are one of the most basic treatment methods for the treatment of edentulous patients. The manufacturing process of traditional complete dentures goes through the steps of taking primary impressions, secondary impressions, jaw relation record, trying in wax denture, and final denture insertion. Multiple visits and complex manufacturing procedures are required, and errors may occur in each step. With the development of digital technology, manufacturing steps have been reduced by introducing digital technology to the denture treatment process. In the process of manufacturing dentures by introducing a digital process, a more precise work is possible using Computer-Aided Design, and it is possible to shorten the period of labor and reduce the number of visits. In this case, the anterior teeth arrangement of the patient's existing dentures was transferred to the final dentures using a digital method. After taking impression, try-in dentures were digitally fabricated and tried in the oral cavity to evaluate their retention in the oral cavity. Final dentures were manufactured by milling process. The number of visits was reduced, satisfactory retention and stability of dentures were obtained, and aesthetic recovery was achieved.

Purpose: This study evaluated the effect of glass fiber pre-impregnated with light-curing resin on the fracture strength and fracture modes of a maxillary complete denture. Materials and methods: Maxillary acrylic resin complete dentures reinforced with glass fiber pre-impregnated with light-curing resin (SES MESH, INNO Dental Co., Yeoncheongun, Korea) and without reinforcement were tested. The reinforcing material was embedded in the denture base resin and placed different regions (Control, without reinforcement; Group A, center of anterior ridge; Group B, rugae area; Group C, center of palate; Group D, full coverage of denture base). The fracture strength and fracture modes of a maxillary complete denture were tested using Instron test machine (Instron Co., Canton, MA, USA) at a 5.0 mm/min crosshead speed. The flexure load was applied to center of denture with a 20 mm diameter ball attachment. When fracture occurred, the fracture mode was classified based on fracture lines. The data were analyzed with one-way ANOVA at the significance level of 0.05. Results: There were non-significant differences (P>.05) in the fracture strength among test groups. Group A showed anteroposterior fracture and posterior fracture mainly, group B, C and control group showed partial fracture on center area mostly. Most specimen of group D showed posterior fracture. Conclusion: The location and presence of the fiber reinforcement did not affect the fracture strength of maxillary complete denture. However, reinforcing acrylic resin denture with glass fiber has a tendency to suppress the crack.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate accuracy of three type complete mandibular denture of before and after polymerization. Methods: Mandibular edentulous model was selected as the master model. 15 study models were made by Type IV stone. Wax complete mandibular dentures were produced by the denture base and artificial teeth. Before and after curing, STL files were obtained using a blue scanner. By superimposing the digitized complete mandibular denture data(after curing) with the CAD-reference(before curing) three-dimensionally, visual fit-discrepancies were drawn by calculating the root mean square (RMS) and visualized on a color-difference map. Each calculated RMS-value was statistically analyzed by 1-way analysis of variance(ANOVA) (${\alpha}=.05$). Results: Mean(SD) RMS-values was OM group $88.98(6.10){\mu}m$, BM group $82.35(13.46){\mu}m$, BDM group $77.83(9.46){\mu}m$. The results of the 1-way ANOVA showed no statistically significant differences in the RMS values of the Three groups for the material (P > .241). Conclusion : Deformation of artificial teeth position was observed in all groups after resin polymerization. But the values, all group were within the clinically acceptable range. The values of BDM group showed the least deformation than the other two groups.

In the case of skeletal class III edentulous patients, the stability of dentures can be achieved by using a crossbite by considering the residual ridge relationship when fabricating complete dentures. Forming the anterior teeth in a normal occlusal relationship in a skeletal class III ridge relationship may reduce the stability of the denture by increasing the anterior cantilever. However, when patients use complete dentures, not only functional aspects but also aesthetic aspects are important. The aesthetics of complete dentures depends on how the anterior artificial teeth are arranged, and cases of complete denture fabrication using normal occlusion or edge-to-edge bite in edentulous patients with skeletal class III ridge relationships have been reported. In this case, complete dentures were fabricated for an edentulous patient with a skeletal class III edentulous patients by forming anterior edge-to-edge bite considering neutral zone in maxillary anterior teeth, and good aesthetic and functional results were obtained.

Statement of problem: Removable partial denture and complete denture often require denture base relines to improve the fit against the tissue-bearing mucosa because of gradual changes in edentulous ridge contours and resorption of underlying bone structure. Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the effect of surface design on bond strength of relining denture base resins to denture base acrylic resin. Materials and method: Heat curing resin(Lucitone 199, Dentsply U.S.A. and Vertex, Dentimex, Holland), self curing resin(Tokuso rebase, Tokuyama, Japan), and visible light curing resin(Triad, Dentsply, U.S.A.) were used in this study. The surface designs were classified as butt, bevel and rabbet joint and the bond strengths were measured by Universial Testing Machine (Zwick 2020, Zwick Co., Germany). Results and Conclusion: The obtained results from this study were as follows ; 1. The bond strength of Vertex resin was higher than those of Tokuso rebase and Triad. 2. The bond strength of rabbet and bevel joint was higher than that of butt joint. 3. The failure mode of Triad and Tokuso rebase was mainly adhesive, but cohesive failure was shown mainly in vertex.
