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

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

According to the 2018 Basic Health Research, the index of tooth loss in Indonesia is 19%. Dental implants are one of the treatments for tooth loss. The pre-valence of dental implant users has increased by 14% per year. The materials used for implants vary greatly, one of which is titanium. Titanium has high bio-compatibility, but its surface needs to be modified to accelerate osseointegration. Chemical surface modification changes the chemical properties of the car-rier surface to produce specific interactions between surface molecules and cells, which not only affects the surface properties of the cells but also causes changes in their internal structure and function. This literature review discusses various chemical methods that can be used to modify the surface of tita-nium implants to improve and accelerate the osseointegration process. It is concluded that modifications to the surface of dental titanium implants can alter the morphology and properties of the implant surface, thereby stimulating bone growth around the implant and improving the osseointegration process.
