Abstract

The objectives of prostheses are to restore mastication force, improve esthetics and maintain gingival health. The construction and function of prosthesis restoration are mutually interdependent with condition of periodontal tissues. A properly constructed prosthesis is an integral phase of complete treatment of periodontal disease in order to maintain periodontal tissues health. This paper reports case of a man aged 47 years who came to Dental Specialist Clinic in Oral and Dental Hospital Faculty of Dentistry Universitas Padjadjaran with chief complaint of mobility in almost all his teeth and they seems to look longer. The patient has no systemic disease and did not want his teeth to be extracted. Clinical and panoramic radiographic and laboratoris examinations has been done. During treatment, oclusal adjustment and splinting had been done on tooth 33,34,35 and tooth 44,43 also tooth 43,42 splinting with composite. The following treatment was the acrylic removable partial denture for upper jaw while mandible was fitted a frame denture which functioned as a semi permanent splint. One month post treatment, patien felt comfort and the denture was well functioning.

Abstract

Introduction: Measurement of vertical dimension is very important because improper measurement of vertical dimension may create stomatognatic problem. Electromyography is a tool for recording electrical signals generated from the mechanism of muscle contraction.This study aims to determine the accuracy of measurements of FWS with and without electromyograph.  Methods: This research was a descriptive comparative study using purposive sampling methods. Measurements of FWS in an upright sitting position with and without electromyograph were done on 10 students of class 2008 from Faculty of Dentistry, UNPAD who met the criteria. Data were analyzed by t test statistics, showed that there were significant differences in the measurements with and without electromyography in upright sitting position. Results: The mean of FWS measured with electromyography was 2.38 mm with standard deviation of 0.44 mm, whereas the mean of FWS measured without electromyography was 1.69 mm with a standard deviation of 0.46 mm. Average FWS in men measured with electromyography was 2.51 mm with a standard deviation of 0.15 mm, whereas the mean without electromyography was 1.68 mm with a standard deviation of 0.43 mm. Average FWS in women measured with electromyography was 2.35 mm with a standard deviation of 0.49 mm, whereas the mean without electromyography was 1.69 mm with a standard deviation of 0.50 mm. Conclusion: The measurements of FWS with electromyograph in an upright seating position was greater than without electromyography.
