Abstract

Background: Complete denture fractures are a common complication in edentulous patients, mainly due to a combination of anatomical, biomechanical, material, and technical factors. This condition affects masticatory function, comfort, and quality of life in elderly patients, who are the largest users of dentures. Purpose: This article aims is to review the epidemiology, etiology and contributing factors, and management of complete denture fractures. Review Summary: Various studies show that fractures most often occur within first two to four years of the denture age, especially in the mandible and midline area due to flexural fatigue. The main causes include poor fit, unbalanced occlusion, fall trauma, and material defects such as porosity or an overly thin base. Repairs can be made using autopolymerizing resin, heat-cured resin, microwave polymerization, or visible light-cured resin, with reinforcement techniques such as E-glass fiber reinforcement, which has been shown to increase denture strength. Prevention focuses on proper design, good stress distribution, occlusal balance, and regular monitoring. Conclusion: A clear understanding of the etiology and fracture patterns is essential to improving clinical outcomes in denture fracture management. Strengthening clinical protocols through better diagnostic awareness and preventive strategies can help reduce the overall risk of denture fractures.

Abstract

Background: Tooth loss among adolescents may impair masticatory function, alter speech articulation, and affect facial aesthetics. Prosthodontic treatment provides essential restorative options for replacing missing teeth. However, despite its importance, a considerable gap remains in the literature regarding adolescents’ perspective toward prosthodontic treatment. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the adolescents’ perspective toward prosthodontic treatment. Methods : A self-administered questionnaire were given to participants. The perspective of prosthodontic treatment was evaluated using three sections: awareness, knowledge, and attitude. The data respondent were collected and categorized into poor, fair and good. The statistical analysis was performed using reliability and validity tests, as well as the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test (P > 0.05).Write your abstract here. Maximum 200 words, single paragraph, in English. Include background, objective, method, result, and conclusion. Result: The adolescents have fair awareness, knowledge, and attitude regarding the prosthodontic treatment. Conclusion: These study showed that adolescents’ fair perspective of prosthodontic is still insufficient, highlighting the need for improved early education.
