This study aims to identify the perception of elderly in esthetic and mastication functions of complete denture. This study is descriptive observational with cross-sectional design conducted on 30 elderlies at Panti Werdha Tresna Wisma Mulia, Jelambar, West Jakarta. The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) measures the perception of elderly in esthetic and mastication functions of completedenture.Analysis test using SPSS program for windows version 22.0showed that overall sample has moderate perception of esthetic and mastication functions of complete denture. Based on gender, the men group with moderate category have perception about the mastication function of complete denture that is equal to 84, 6%, while women group with good categoryhaveperceptionaboutestheticsfunctionofcompletedenturethatis equal to 58,8%.

This behaviour is an important thing so that patients can maintain the cleanliness of full denture and the health of their oral cavity. This study aims to determine the full denture cleaning behavior in the elderly. Methods: This type of research was descriptive observational with a cross-sectional design conducted on 32 elderly people in Hana Nursing Home, Pamulang, South Tangerang. The behavior of the elderly is measured through a questionnaire that has been provided previously. Results:The results of the descriptive statistical test showed that in general the behavior of cleaning of the elderly at the Hana Nursing Home had good results (46.9%). This good behavior is obtained based on good knowledge (59.4%), fairly good attitude (56.3%), and fairly good actions (53.1%). Based on gender grouping, it was obtained by the elderly group of men having full denture cleaning behavior which entered into a fairly good category (50%). Whereas the elderly woman in the Hannah Nursing Home has cleaning behavior that is included in the good category (50%). Based on age grouping, it can be seen that full denture cleaning behavior is good for the eldery age group (60-74 years), whereas in the old age group (75-90 years) and very old age group (> 90 years) has a cleaning behavior is in fairly good category.

Abstract

Background: Dentists often encounter patients with worn dentures that still feel comfortable even though the patients have lost the supporting tissue heights due to physiological and pathological resorption. Loss of denture retention, stability, and occlusal vertical dimension are most often caused by alveolar bone resorption. Dentures that are loose because of poor adaption to the supporting tissues should be relined. Chair-side procedures provide immediate resolution, avoiding the edentulous period of time accompanying laboratory relines. Case Report: A 70-year-old male edentulous patient came to the Prosthodontic Clinic, Faculty of Dentistry, Trisakti University, Jakarta, Indonesia. The patient had been wearing the upper and lower dentures for approximately eight years. The patient had alveolar ridge resorption, which causes loss of retention, stability and vertical dimension. After the problems were thoroughly diagnosed and corrected, a chair-side denture relining with an open-mouth technique was used. Conclusion: Direct relining in a single visit helped the complete denture to regain its retentiveness, allowing for prolonged the use of the worn denture. It also adjusted occlusal vertical dimension to improve the occlusal support and esthetics.
