The role of learning in denture retention

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1960
Abstract The clinical importance of learning and the capacity of learning relative to age are discussed and therapeutic aspects of wearing dentures are considered. Complete dentures are usually successful in young people, and, in such patients, dentures should be made with a balanced occlusion confined to a limited area in the muscular position of ...

Retention and stability of mandibular dentures

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1967
Abstract A prime cause of denture problems has been shown to relate to the difficulty of duplicating actual jaw relationships because of the basal seat tissue distortion that occurs during function. The functionally generated path technique will help to eliminate much of this problem.

Effect of an elastic lining on the retention of dentures

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1968
Abstract Denture retention was measured in each of ten patients who complained of poor retention. Eight of these dentures were restored to maximum retention by relining with a hydrophilic, soft-lining material. When new dentures were constructed, all ten patients obtained maximum retention.

Determining the retention of removable partial dentures

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 2019
Removable partial dentures (RPDs) provide a cost-effective treatment for millions of partially edentulous patients worldwide. However, they often fail because of loss of retention. One reason for this problem is lack of precise guidelines for designing retentive RPDs.The purpose of this in vitro study was to determine the forces produced by food and ...

Retention for a Removable Partial Denture

Journal of Prosthodontics, 1992
This article addresses the complex nature of retention in a removable partial denture. Retentive features range from magnets and springs to clips, clasps, and interfacial surface tension. The retentive quality of an extracoronal clasp varies with the alloy, physical form, location on the abutment, and positional relationship to other elements ...

Initial retention of complete mandibular dentures

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1970
Abstract Initial retention of the mandibular denture was clinically observed and measured as both static and dynamic retention. There was strong evidence that retention of a mandibular denture might continue although the actual period of time could not be determined. Initial retention of the mandibular denture was considered the result of securing the

Operation for Improved Retention of the Lower Denture

The Journal of the American Dental Association, 1970
Various procedures have been used to prevent denture “lift.” Lingual alveoloplasty and total vestibuloplasty both have disadvantages, but the method of partial vestibuloplasty described here has been found successful during ten years of clinical use.

Indirect retention in partial denture design

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1966
Abstract The principle of indirect retention is shown to be an application of a Class 2 lever. The so-called indirect retainer is a major connector stabilizer. A secondary fulcrum line is usually established when partial denture design includes indirect retention. Indirect retention prevents the retentive clasp tips from becoming a fulcrum about which

The prong denture: A combined surgical-prosthetic approach to enhance denture retention

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1981
Abstract A technique is described where prong extensions were placed on a complete maxillary denture to fit into surgically created skin grafted pockets. Careful selection of patients who will follow oral hygiene instructions meticulously make the prong denture a viable alternative to complete denture construction for the severely resorbed residual ...

Surface tension in retention of complete dentures

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1972
Abstract Adhesion, cohesion, and surface tension are explained on the basis of the atomic structure of matter. Surface tension is considered as potential energy in that it is capable of performing work such as contracting or minimizing the surface area of liquid when it is subjected to a stretching force.
