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.

Abstract

Dentures are expected to restore masticatory function, which is an indicator of the functional complex of mastication influenced by elevator muscle activation from craniomandibular biomechanics. The level of bite force is important to determine the effec-tiveness of mastication in denture-using patients. This study evaluated the differences in maximal bite force values and mastica-cation ability in metal and acrylic partial denture patients. Subjects were RPD users; 12 metal frame patients and 12 acrylic pa-tients. The bite force values the patients were measured using a byte gauge. Mastication ability was assessed using a mastica-cation ability questionnaire. The age groups of 46-55 years and 56-65 years used the RPD the most. The mean maximal bite force of metal-frame RPD patients was 260.92 N and 90.67 N in acrylic. All of the metal frame users had good mastication ability and only 5% of acrylic RPD users had good ability. Only 66.7% of metal frame RPD patients had a high quality of life and 8.3% of acrylic. It was concluded that the maximal bite force value of metal frame RPD patients was greater than acrylic.

Abstract

Rehabilitation of patients with eyeball loss requires an eye prosthesis. Currently, a variation of the non-fabricated eye prosthe-sis, the light-weight prosthesis, has been developed. This article describes the technique of making a light-weight eye prosthe-thesis for a patient who lost his right eyeball due to trauma. A 28-year-old man came to Hasannudin University Dental and Oral Hospital complaining of losing his right eye due to trauma from a work accident. The patient was fitted with an eye prosthesis and used up to 9 months post-operatively. The patient felt uncomfortable because his prosthetic eye looked unnatural and looked smaller. The patient wanted a new prosthesis that was more comfortable to restore his confidence. The conjunctiva of the orbita was healthy and there was no infection. The patient was fitted with a non-fabricated light-weight eye prosthesis made from acry-lic resin. The artificial eye was fabricated with a precise impression method which gave an advantage in terms of retention. It was concluded that a light-weight eye prosthesis can be selected as a rehabilitative treatment for patients with eyeball loss that res-tores the patient's appearance and improves self-confidence.

Abstract

Severe alveolar bone resorption is a challenge in the fabrication of complete dentures. Loss of all teeth often leads to impaired masticatory function, which can affect the digestive system and nutritional intake. The close mouth moulding technique is sug-gested to overcome the limitations of conventional techniques in flat ridge cases, in order to obtain a denture that is firm and comfortable to use, especially when chewing. This article describes the treatment of a flat ridge case in a patient with digestive and nutritional disorders, using the close mouth moulding technique. A 65-year-old woman came to RSGMP Unhas with com-plaints of loose dentures making it difficult to chew, and even had to undergo hospitalisation due to complaints of heartburn so that it was recommended to use a denture by an internal medicine doctor. The patient wanted to make a denture that was firm, comfortable, and improved his appearance. The patient was made an acrylic CD with a close mouth moulding technique. It was concluded that the close mouth moulding technique was effective in producing CDs that were firm, stable, and could restore masticatory function in patients with flat ridge.

Abstract

Geriatric patients with compromised medical conditions require proper and adequate nutrition. However, patients with edentu-lous ridges cannot receive optimal intake due to decreased chewing and swallowing abilities. Conventional dentures have limi-tations when used by edentulous patients with severely resorbed ridges. Suction dentures for the mandible were introduced to address this issue. These dentures create negative pressure around the peripheral area, effectively generating suction, resulting in excellent clinical outcomes. It was reported that complete denture (CD) treatment was necessary to improve retention and stabi-lity. A 62-year-old man presented with complaints of complete tooth loss in the maxillary and mandibularly regions and difficulty chewing. The patient wished to improve his chewing ability by creating a CD. The treatment option in this case was a suction den-ture for the mandible, as the patient had severely resorbed mandibular ridges. It was concluded that this treatment resulted in a denture that was retentive, stable, comfortable, and satisfactory to the patient, thereby improving chewing and swallowing function.
