A Permanent solution to Restore Occlusal Vertical Dimension and Partial Edentulism – Overlay Removable Partial Denture

Tooth wear is a common problem seen in population and poses restorative challenge to a dentist as well. Extensive dental procedures are usually required for the treatment of tooth wear associated with loss of occlusal vertical dimension. An overlay removable partial denture provides conservative treatment option for patients with moderate to severe worn down dentition and partial edentulism. It is designed in such a way that some part of denture component also covers the occlusal surface of remaining teeth and replace the remaining teeth to achieve a functionally stable occlusion. This case report is about a patient who was given cast metal overlay upper and lower denture for a correction of lost vertical dimension of occlusion, replacement of few missing teeth and for the prevention from further tooth wear.

Prosthodontic Rehabilitation of a Case with Overlay Denture: A Case Report

A removable dental prosthesis that covers and rests on two or more remaining natural teeth, the roots of natural teeth, and/or dental implants is known as overdenture. This leads to less resorption of residual alveolar ridges. Restoration and modified teeth coronally can also be used as multiple abutments. In most cases, abutments are treated endodontically. In most patients with complete dentures, mandibular denture is difficult to adapt, and there is loss of retention because of less surface area. This case report represents prosthetic rehabilitation of a mandibular edentulous patient with cast coping with short dowels supported overdenture.

Electrochemical Interaction of TiNi-based Implant with Overlay Denture

Experimental electrochemical studies simulating the contact of a dental implant of titanium nickelide and metal frames of a denture covering an implant were carried out. The contact currents in artificial saliva were measured under stationary conditions and when updating the denture surface. Different amounts of the current depending on the denture frame material were registered.

Complete Overlay Denture for Pedodontic Patient with Severe Dentinogenesis Imperfecta

ABSTRACT Dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) is a hereditary condition that may affect both primary and permanent dentition and is characterized by abnormal dentin formation. The teeth may be discolored with chipping of enamel and, in untreated cases, the entire dentition may wear off to the gingiva. This may lead to the formation of abscesses, tooth mobility, and early loss of teeth. In the Indian population, DI is found to have an incidence of 0.09%. Treatment of DI should aim to remove infection, if any, from the oral cavity; restore form, function, and esthetics; and protect posterior teeth from wear for maintaining the occlusal vertical dimension. Treatment strategies should be selected based on the presenting complaint of the patient, patient's age, and severity of the problem. This case report presents the management of severe DI with tooth worn off until gingival level in a very young patient using complete overlay denture, which has not been reported earlier.

Kesimpulan: Perawatan pasien celah palatum dengan gigi tiruan overlay thermoplastic resin memberikan kenyamanan, perbaikan estetis sehingga menimbulkan dampak psikologis yang baik pada pasien. Thermoplastic Resin Overlay Denture On Cleft Lip And Palate Patient (A Case Report). Background: Cleft lip and palate has a degree of difficulities in habilitativeness among other congenital or acquired handicaps. Because this case requires a special attention on the habilitation stage, also requires an interdiciplinary collaboration in medical professions in order to achieve optimal results. Prosthodontics is a part in dentistry that has a role in determining the final results of a series of treatments that have been performed. Overlay denture is a removable prosthesis which are used to alleviate maxillary constriction and discrepancies in vertical dimension. Purpose: To give more comfortable treatment with overlay denture on cleft lip and palate case. Case: A 25 years old female patient, with the chief complaint of the aesthetic on her maxillary anterior region. Requires a treatment to covered her defect, post cleft lip and palate operations that have been performed when she was a child. Case management: 1) Anamnesis, 2) Clinical and radiographic examination, 3) Study model impressions, 4) Working model impressions, 5) Articulator mounting, 6) Artificial teeth arrangement, 7) Wax model try-in, 8) Laboratorium processing, 9) Insertion, 10) Control. Conclusion: Treatment of a cleft lip and palate case with a thermoplastic resin overlay denture can delivered comfort, and aesthetic improvement which can gives the patient a positive physiological impact.
