Abstract

Mastication and aesthetic disturbances are often experienced by patients with multiple anterior and posterior tooth losses. In the case of patients with few remaining natural teeth, a telescopic overdenture may be a potential option. This will improve the stability and retention of the prosthesis. This article reports the management of a patient with partial edentulous with severe mas-ticatory and aesthetic impairment using a telescopic overdenture prosthesis to improve chewing quality and aesthetics. A 70-year-old woman came to the Prosthodontics Clinic with complaints of difficulty chewing and lack of confidence due to the loss of most of the teeth in the upper jaw and lower jaw and the upper front teeth were slightly loose. The patient wanted to have a denture made so that she could chew food well and improve her smile. After a thorough examination, the patient was treated with an overdenture and four telescopic crowns were placed on the anterior abutment teeth. It was concluded that the use of telescopic overdenture in patients with edentulus parsialis can improve aesthetics and masticatory quality.

Abstract

Treatment using a denture can be either a fixed denture or a removable denture. Silica is naturally found in diatoms, sponges, and sea sand. Silica has high hardness properties. The study aimed to determine the effect of nanosilica addition of diatom extract Thalassiosira Sp on compressive and tensile strength of glass ionomer cement (GIC) luting material. This laboratory experimen-tal study was designed as the post-test only control group, involving five treatment groups; RMGIC, GIC without nanosilica, nanosi-lica addition ratio of 1%, 3%, 5% (nanosilica and GIC ratio). The compressive and tensile strength levels after the addition of dia-tomaceous nanosilica were measured using a Micro Vickers Hardness Tester. The lowest compressive strength value was found in the 1% GIC+nanosilica sample, while the most optimal value was found in the 3% GIC+nanosilica sample. The lowest tensile strength value was found in the 1% GIC+nanosilica sample, while the most optimal was in the 3% GIC+nanosilica sample. It is concluded that there is an effect of nanosilica addition on compressive strength and tensile strength of GIC luting material with the addition of 3% nanosilica.
