Denture stabilization with peralveolar tubing.

Mock dentures were stabilized in six monkeys by means of polyethylene tubings passed through surgically created buccolingual peralveolar channels. Macroscopic, radiographic, and microscopic examinations demonstrated that the dentures were stabilized and the tubings well tolerated throughout the 120-day study period.

Disturbed lower denture stability due to lipoma in the floor of the mouth.

An unusual case of lipoma arising in the floor of the mouth of a 70-year-old man is presented. The unusual appearance suggests that the tumour be included as a rare possibility in the differential diagnosis of swellings in the floor of the mouth that can also adversely affect lower denture stability.

The influence of the retromylohyoid extension on mandibular complete denture stability.

It has been a clinical impression that the retromylohyoid extension in complete mandibular dentures contributes to stability. This hypothesis was tested in six individuals by means of cineradiography and placement of a metal marker in the mandible and dentures during chewing exercises, with and without the relevant denture extension. Analysis of tracings of the movements of the markers revealed that statistically significant differences existed between first and second chewing experiences. Movement in a horizontal plane around a vertical axis, however, was common to all dentures during all chewing. It is concluded that the retromylohyoid extension has a stabilizing effect on complete mandibular dentures.

A simplified approach to optimizing denture stability with lingualized occlusion.

Occlusal prematurities are destructive and destabilizing influences in complete dentures. Unless denture bases are adequately and evenly stabilized, it is virtually impossible to properly equilibrate the occlusion. One reason is that all artificial teeth in a denture unit are physically bound into a single denture base and literally act as a single tooth. Therefore, a single point of occlusal prematurity disrupts the entire denture occlusion and negatively affects the denture base stability and retention, preventing proper equilibration. This article describes a step-by-step approach using an intraoral central bearing point tracing device and lingualized occlusion to achieve an effective and simplified equilibration.
